#1 overall recruits and Clemson


Apr 23, 2019, 8:04 AM

Since I have been alive I know Clemson has been involved with the number 1 player overall 3 times.

Clowney, Nkemdiche and TL.

Anyone else?

Yeah "involved" is relative term. Did Smith ever come in for an OV?

He visited and at one time it was believed we led

I remember for the longest time after he committed it was thought he would flip but he seemed to play games with the coaching staff.

I had forgot that he did visit early on, but the staff declined to give him an official visit later on.

I was about to post something along that line. Smith wanted to visit in order to recruit for UGA and the staff never let him take an official visit. So the rumor goes.

Bowers was ranked number 1 by 247 and number 2 by rivals. Though I think he was number 1 for a brief time in rivals but fell to the second slot on the last rankings.

Bowers was #1 in the composite ***

Mitch Hyatt was #1 when he committed.

Dropped 6 spots the next day...no lie.

Mitch Hyatt committed on February 5th, 2014.

At that time, he was ranked #4 by 247 and #2 in the Composite. He had already fallen from the #1 spot, which he held very briefly, several months before.

He didn't drop out of the top 5 until 3 months later (composite) and 5 months later (247).

Dan Marino


Apr 23, 2019, 8:21 AM

I know we were in the mix with Marino. He liked our baseball program and was promised to play both FB and BB for Tigers. I recall Arizona State was also in the mix. Ultimately he decided to stay close to home.

Just imagine if he had joined us

John Johnson was up there. Can't remember if he was #1


Apr 23, 2019, 10:15 AM

in his position or #1 overall. I think we were in the mix with Herschel Walker too, but I dont know his ranking. And of course, Tribble Reese was #1 in our hearts.
