Many consider he could be the best slot WR in the 2013 class. Nice pick up!

Ryan Jenkins (5'11 179, 4.5 40) originally from Alpharetta-Milton Ga., brother of CB Martin Jenkins, finally committed to Clemson as expected today at The Opening. Jenkins picked Clemson primarily over Oklahoma State. He was rated the #26 player in the state of Georgia and the #47 WR overall. He's rated at 3 stars, which I think is fair.
Jenkins was not highly recruited until later this spring after some impressive showings at several camps against good competition. His size is not impressive, nor is his outright speed that of similar-sized Germone Hopper, and I imagine that held him back from getting more offers. His route-running and hands have helped him garner a lot of kudos at the camps though, and he shows some quick feet like his brother on film. Those quick feet and dime-cuts are really useful for a slot receiver, where he'll play at Clemson.
I think its possible his rating in-state goes up a little this year, but I'm not certain he goes up to a 4-star player. He transferred to Lassiter from Alpharetta-Milton. He was recruited by Tony Elliott, but it bears mentioning that Kevin Steele offered and got Martin as a favor to his dad, because Martin was not very highly recruited at all.
We expect Jenkins to be the first of 3 WR takes this cycle.

downplay it as much as possible and go with the lowest star rating.

he said he loves the facilities and I suspect that the offense they run had a lot to do with it

He publicly lauded the great facilities, but Mike Gundy is also pretty similar to Dabo in a lot of ways. They're players coaches first and foremost, and so they're great recruiters. Oklahoma State, similarly to Clemson, is coming off of a conference championship and BCS bowl appearance (though they actually won their game). Clemson and Oklahoma State also both run fast-paced offenses that spread the ball around.
No surprise that Oklahoma State was in it, and it should be counted as a great recruiting victory to beat them out.

Come to think of it, I think he's come close a couple times already.

5 seasons have had one the most high powered offenses in the nation. Considering that, it's very understandable why a kid would be looking at them. But I'm very glad he chose us.
