New Story: "Clemson Google" leading the way in recruiting


Feb 6, 2015, 7:01 AM

 
"Clemson Google" leading the way in recruiting

One of the driving forces behind Clemson's fourth-ranked recruiting class is a department that head coach Dabo Swinney calls "Clemson Google." What is the department and how does it help on the recruiting trail? Full Story »

Let's just hope Google doesn't sue Clemson for copyright infringement haha.

Agreed. Thad is one of the only people in the nation to have that "knowledge" of what needs to be done. Can't believe we stole him from Alabama.

Just might be god showin Dabo a lil...favor :)

The secret is Clemson and the coaching staff and their families....
If Dabo and Jeff and Elliot were not the fine men they were a lot
of recruits or their mamas would see the shell and know it was white washed.
The families and the recruits know that the coaching staff wants them to be better
men when they leave Clemson that when they got there.
What the recruiting staff is doing is allow the coaches to concentrate on coaching
and personal contacts with recruits rather than the minutiae of organizing the activities.

TU, but you left out one thing.

Clemson is incredibly fortunate to have Thad Turnipseed in our FB staff! Another truly fine man who "gets" what Clemson is all about and adds to our ability to recruit great players with the character to thrive as a Tiger. Thanks, Thad. I love what you do and how you do it. I'm ALL IN!

We could save a ton of money on evaluating recruits if Dabo


Feb 6, 2015, 10:29 AM

and Streeter wood just pull up the ESPN Top 300 and work on those.

Somejuan else has already done all of the hard work (at their expense). Why reinvent the wheel?

I understand your thinking. However, if we would have taken this approach, we would not have Grady Jarrett or Vic Beasley. Our staff does a great job evaluating guys for what they have and how they fit in our system. Not just relying on what other people think.

Evaluating guys for ourselves also allows us to get a head start on special players that haven't popped up on everyone's radar. This gives us a huge advantage.

I'm hoping you're kidding


Feb 6, 2015, 11:03 AM [ in reply to We could save a ton of money on evaluating recruits if Dabo ]

One of the reasons we have attracted the stellar players we have is that we start talking with these kids as early as their Freshman year of HS - often before they are ranked. Also, as the other poster pointed out, there are a lot of guys off the radar that can become (or already are) 4 or 5 star talent.

I don't care how much it costs (if we have it) - what they're doing is working.

Absolutely! If it ain't broke don't fix it. In one breath everyone talks about what a great job the staff is doing with recruiting (and they are), and then some want to change it?! Really?

Our coaches evaluation is the egg and the ESPN 300 is the chicken. It's a mat of four.
