So what Clemson needs is a shoe company bagman instead of a new HC? Is that your point?

Quite honestly

Basketball has been a big city game for years. For many years the creme of the crop came from the playgrounds of New York and other northern cities. Over the years that has changed. Especially with the basketball Acadamys that are so prevalent now. Every year I hope to see where a kid from the Bronx or Harlem signs with the Tigers. But, as you suggest, it would be a real culture shock!

My guess is focus the recruiting to rural areas then. You can't get a better comfortable place to go in the country than Clemson, it's God's country!

If it weren’t for the Air Force Base, it would be like an oasis on Mars, but those guys are recruited from all over the U.S.A. & Europe. Just takes a lot effort and a little luck (and a great coach) to start being a winner.

National Championship? I guess the Buffalo Bills were the best NFL team of the 1990s.

PROGRAM....not necessarily the best team

For the athletically impaired, the best given team may not have won a title, but that takes nothing away from what Mark Few has developed. A team can have a down game, but you can't deny overall success.

has won 0 National Championships because they have had down games and were beaten by teams who were not better than them 10 consecutive years?
Same thing happened to the Bills in the 90s.
They are a great program, and their coaches have done an amazing job, but I don’t think they are the best program over the past 10 years.

Not too rural to draw players but apparently too rural to draw fans. Recruits notice this and back off. End of story.
