Not looking good for Clemson
Jan 30, 2012, 3:47 PM

I don't mind losing Bullard to FL, Marshall to UGA, or even McKinzy to Auburn, but now we are losing guys to NCST and Maryland?
I love this class and it is one of the strongest top to bottom that we have had since 2008, but dropping Whitehead to NCST and now it looks like Reader to Maryland is not how I expected to finish.

Really? We have a top 15 class (with only 20 recruits) and your disappointed? You need to change your screen name to whatwesmokin! If we don't sign anymore recruits this year that is no big deal. It will give us more room next year. Right now we can only take 16-20 for next year. Some of you guys are just amazing!

Wow overreact much? I said I loved the class but you don't recruit guys for no reason. The class as it stands is a huge success but that doesn't mean missing small peices isnt disappointing. If I only wanted to know the final ranking, I wouldn't follow recruiting. These guys we are missing on are positions of need for the most part. Will things be fine without them sure but if we do land them it would really help with depth.

Some on T-Net don't have a clue of what they are saying because. They want to say something ( acting like they know what their talking about ) on here so bad that they are just repeating what they have heard or read some where. And MOST of the time. The people who said or wrote what they are repeating. They didn't have a clue of what they were saying or writing either. Pit pat, tally wack, give the dog a bone. Take that BS some of you are hearing, and keep moving on.

Last time I checked we have verbal commitments from 10 players rated as four stars by Rivals.
For comparison, there were only 6 programs in the country with more players than that rated four stars or better. There were only five other programs with as many as 10 players rated four star or better. Looks to me as if we are on track for another top 10-20 recruiting class.
When a kid compares going to school and playing at NCSU or Maryland to doing the same at Clemson and the kid then chooses the other places, I scratch my head, wonder why and then wish the kid good luck. Unless such a player has a family connection to the other school, that sort of choice makes very little sense to me. But good luck to all.

Yeah, it's rough when you only have a top ten to top fifteen class. Not looking good at all. Clemson was much better when we were in the 30's.

us for 2013 because we will have a low number of openings available then unless we have several players transfer. I would rather hold on to who we have now and be able to get somebody really good next year unless we get someone to fill a real need at the last minute.

In 1980, Clemson went 6-5, having to pull an upset in the final game to avoid a losing season. How badly did that mediocre season hurt Clemson? So badly we went undefeated and won the National Championship the next year. Did it hurt us for years? I don't think so. The 1980's are still considered the Golden Years of Clemson football. The 2012 Orange Bowl will only continue to hurt us if we continue to dwell on it.

It also would be unwise to say that it had a bigger effect then it really did.
The truth is that we never recruited Marshall, Gurly, or Davis hard after Brooks signed. He only did so late because we weren't sure about MB and Ellington looked to be going to the NFL. Marhsall and Gurly were always heavy UGA commites and that we got into the top three with either is actually pretty impressive.
Won't go into Mike Davis.
Bullard would have had to go to a jouni college if he came here so he chose Florida, smae thign might happen to Leamon.
Also as bad as we might have looked do you really think that any smart recruit would choose MD who only won 2 games this year is a better team to commit to than us?

I think all some people read are negatives. I said I love this class and it is the most complete since 08. I know we started strong but just like the season. Starting 8-0 doesn't make it feel any better to lose to NCST.

numbers are down 1 spot across the board from last week. I think we will end up with a class somewhere between 15-20 ranking. If we end up in the top-15, I will be very happy and consider it a good year recruiting. I expect others to pass us before the final rankings if we don't get another commit. Others will get good ones in the last days here.
I don't know how much the Orange Bowl played a part in not getting any commits in January, but it didn't help. I really don't think it played that big a part. I fully expected to get Reader and if he chooses that mess in Maryland over us, then so be it. I was not surprised that we didn't get Marshall, and a little surprised we didn;t get Bullard. But the most disappointing was losing Gerley to Georgia with him knowing that he'll just have to stand in line to even get reps in practice. That was not good.
As for these Darby, McKenzie and the ones that visited for the first time in the last week or so, I knew those were all longshots.

I thought we had a great recruiting class when AE decided to stay one more year. Can you put a value (in STARS) on how great that is? He's way past a 5*. Maybe like several 5*'s in one guy.
Everyone else is icing on the cake.
PLUS - we got BV for DC, so IMO we will be AOK. JK

I agree with this guy. We have a strong class and have you seen our targets for 2013? I'd rather have more spots for the apparently top 5 recruiting class next year.
