Dabo Swinney Signing Day Comments

Dabo Swinney calls the 2021 recruiting class the "most unique class." The Dandy Dozen. I will never forget them. That was Tajh Boyd and that whole crew.....But this is the Pandemic Posse."

Swinney: "We are going to sign 18 guys. We think maybe 12-13 will be mid-years (early enrollees)"

Why was I thinking our target was 23 this cycle. Thought I read that in previous recruiting articles... Don't we need some more oline and backers? Wish we'd take a chance on that OT in Connecticut, originally from Ontario. We never offered but seemed like a really good culture fit.
Guess I'm confused. We have more good kids begging to come to Clemson, so what's the downside of filling out the class with maybes... Or is that not how it works. What would happen to the leftover schollys.

Thank you both. You're a gentleman and a scholar. That helps a lot. Exciting class and with all the early enrollment, hopefully we'll have a normal spring because I can see quite a few that could contribute right away.

You gotta love listening to Brent Venables talk about the recruits. The true Brent comes out in these conversations. He can be guarded in interviews with the media, but he's comfortable in this setting.

Swinney on Will Taylor: "Our plan with him is to train him as a quarterback for a year and then move him to receiver. I think that is where his career ends up but I could be wrong....it will give us some peace at Qb. It might be 3 years from now but if we got in a bind he could play the position and we wouldn't have to start from scratch."

I've been watching it. Missed the first 10 minutes or so.
Any objective person watching this has to be unbelievably impressed with Dabo and the entire staff. What a great group of men, starting with Dabo, that he has surrounded himself with in this coaching room.
Just an aside, Grisham has done as good a job as any assistant coach in the country, considering the injuries he has had to coach around.

I've respected Dabo from the day he got the job as interim. (Didn't know much about him at that time. I won't go into details but the way he handled the transition - talking to Tommy and Bobby - was remarkable.)
Since then my respect for him has done nothing but grow.
It's easy to spot integrity and character if you don't look at a person with an inborn bias. (Just like it's easy to spot a sleazeball if you take an objective look.)

We said he doesn't encourage or discourage it. He just wants them to do what they want to do it.

Any updates on zanders or did I miss that. Great news on both WR's.
What's the latest on Foster? Just wondering how he's getting along. ?? for a full and complete recovery.
We can certainly add a couple nice sprinkles but cherry on top for me would be seeing Justyn ballin out next fall.
