everybody thinks all the other teams are cheating/ paying players and that there own team is the only one having success "the right way." Even fans of teams like Miami, which are known for cheating.

Miami doesn't even come to mind anymore when thinking of winning programs.

Re: Amusing Canes take on our recruiting.

There were a couple of boneheads, but most people were saying they think it'll be Clemson and didn't seem to suggest there was a sinister reason behind it. It was mainly that TP guy who was upset. One guy in particular, cowboycane, showed us a great deal of respect:
First of all, they win a lot, and they are exciting when they do it. And spare me the "they don't win titles" song and dance. They are in high level bowls, oftentimes BCS, and take down good SEC teams just as often as they get beat. I would take Clemson's last decade in a heartbeat compared to what we've had.
Second of all, let's think about Cain specifically. Who do you think is more appealing to a 17 year old: Nuke Hopkins and Sammie Watkins or Leonard Hankerson and Allen Hurns? Because those are the 2 best receivers for each school in the past 5 years. We aren't trading on Andre Johnson and Santana Moss's names anymore.
Third, Clemson is pretty much an SEC-level university in an SEC-type of town with an SEC-sort of fan base and SEC-looking women. Take from that whatever you will, but know that it does have an impact and is a selling point.
It is actually kind of sad to think about, but you can bet when an elite kid chooses us over FSU or Clemson or UiF or whoever they are thinking to themselves "how are they getting these kids?" Because objectively, our recruiting classes should be way worse than they have been lately. Them's the facts.
I for one hope the U gets back on its feet. College football is better when they're an elite squad, and it'd be a huge boost for the ACC.

As if they have no idea the socioeconomic situation in Clemson, SC. While having rabidly supportive fans, Clemson simply can't compete with other major universities from a sheer numbers standpoint. Dabo realizes this and has worked hard on the sales pitch of win momma first with a strong religious/family/safe environment for many of these kids from destitute situations. Dabo knows we stand no chance with kids like Winston who want flashy cars and a bigger city-type living, so we place our efforts elsewhere. People need to do their research. Miami fans screaming illegal benefits is hilarious.
