Amazed how few Mich folks think Clem's a threat to get Gary

Is it ignorance, arrogance (since they appear to have a lead), or is it just a total lack of respect for what we're capable of doing on the recruiting front?

Not what I've seen. They're all chewing their finger nails off.
247 starting to report some really positive news for Clemson.

I have access to most all major recruiting sites. I pay for a couple, and a good buddy pays for a couple and we share usernames/passwords (we both pay for this one because of the forums are the best here). I see Tiger pulls info from different ones as well, so to me, it is a combination of them all. The best recruiting, and most accurate ratings in my opinion, is TI. Scout and ESPN have some ratings that are way off, and their stories are not that great. TCI neither of us go over there anymore after several stories have been proven false that they have ran. 247 has decent stories, but has some crazy rankings.
I stay here the most because I get more information here that is legit, than all the others combined because of the forums. This is kind of the filter between hogwash and reality when you get to know which posters know what is going on and those that do not. I have been here since the early 2000's (under a different name), and I left for a short period when I felt the mods would not clean the boards from coot trolls enough, but rejoined for the reasons mentioned, plus Dabo cleaned up the coot trolls for us.

Nor have I seen much from the national so called "recruiting analyst". I think maybe there's been 1 guy that even gave a chance a month ago. However, it's hard to pay too much attention to these guys though because certain groups push so hard for certain conferences to get the top guys (ie. ESPN and Scout for the SEC).

have inbred arrogance about the status of their programs and they are usually the types who do not watch CFB nationally. They are living off of glory, in some cases, of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I am a retired Marine of 20 years service who has been around CFB fans all over the nation and it is staggering how many Michigan, Texas, Southern Cal, Oklahoma, Penn State fans, etc., actually believe that Clemson, Oregon, Michigan State, etc. are aberrations when they make major noise when in fact, those schools have actually PASSED them in recruiting, talent, and winning in the last decade. Those fools only watch one game a week, only read ESPN, etc., and live in the past to spout off their delusional thinking. The Clemsons of the world have to keep pounding their ##### for another 10 years to get into their heads and we all know it is coming. I laugh at their stupidity because it's comical to me. OU is still cleaning orange and purple paint off of their ##### and OSU got their taste too. Bama did not want another 5 minutes in that game with us and LSU probably gets cramps thinking about that 4th quarter. Screw Michigan and others like them. Clemson has arrived and the staffs around the nation do not want to see the PAW across the line of scrimmage, period.

Thanks....problem is my mouth, when fired up, has a tendency

to spew some rough language....I did two DI tours in the Corps and never got in any trouble except for profanity outdoors....indoors, well...lets just say that nobody cared. Outdoors in front of the world was a recipe for a visit to the COs office for a recalibration meeting with him and the SgtMaj, LOL. I dont think Dabo would approve, LOL.

Staffs of more national "traditional" powers especially do not like the Tiger Paw giving them stiff competition both on and off the field! Bobby Bowden understood recruiting starts a program and winning enhances recruiting which is something Dabo has taken to heart.
Go Tigers!

About 20% are freaking out... the other 80% feel like him going to UM is a done deal.
I think the 20% are realists... they know how good Dabo is. Add that with the nuclear bomb D'shawn Hand laid on the fan base (2 years ago?), there is definitely worry on that front.
I think the 80% are living off the high of having like 4-5 commits in the last few days and they feel like the recruiting is unstoppable at this point.
I will disclose that I am a Michigan fan, and subscribe to a few insider pages. However, over the last 4 years I have slowly become a closet Clemson fan. My inlaws are from Greenville so I have had it forced down my throat haha but I am a huge fan of Dabo as a coach and even more so as a person. I think Clemson won't skip a beat if they don't get Gary and will be right back in the National Championship next year... UM on the other hand, I think it will be more of a make or break in landing Gary.
Interested to see how this all shapes out

and everytime someone posts something about how they have no need of worrying about Clemson, 5 other people educate them on Dabo, Brent,#1 defense last year, only team in the country with 4 bowl wins in a row, took Bama to the wire in the Natty, Dexter Lawrence, Christian Wilkins, Deshaun, Sammy, CJ, 2 first round picks last year, 3 this year.....etc, etc....
The smart money in Michigan is sweating bullets...
As it should be
