Remembering an interview coach Swinney had a couple of years ago when he talked about his recruiting philosophy, and seeing who is offered an athletic scholarship at Clemson, it seems pretty clear Coach places as much importance on the family piece as on the 5 star piece. He clearly wants the best he can get, but he does not typically offer broadly to consensus 5 stars. In the inverview, he spoke of the importance of having players with solid values and fairly clean records. It is interesting that almost every offer is followed by the recruit saying he is "blessed" to have a Clemson opportunity. Use of that word suggests these are recruits who tend to come from faith based family settings.

This is not to say Coach Swinney doesn't want 5 stars, or that there is some religious test for getting an offer. I think he values very highly, and perhaps more so than most other top coaches, the locker room atmosphere and team cohesiveness. In the interview he spoke of his disinterest in getting superstar high school kids who would create issues on or off the field. Interestingly, a recent article that spoke of the 5 stars not yet committed to anyone never mentioned Clemson as a contender for any of these high school stars.

Swinney does more with "less", although he certainly is recruiting exceptional athletes. They are mostly what I would call second tier stars, and there is no question he has gone a very long way with what are usually less than 5 star recruits. Beyond his own considerable skills as a coach, there is no question the Swinney approach works better in the ACC than it would in the SEC or Big Ten, where there would be power schools with perhaps problem-players off the field but more 5 stars on it. It would be much more difficult to be Conference champion in those two conferences using what appears to be the Swinney philosophy for recruitments, and of course Conference champion is mandatory for getting into the final 4 (or 12).
