People need to quit all this worry about recruiting

Need I remind you...Hunter Renfrow was a walk on. FSU was highly ranked pre-season due to highly rated recruits which went 6-6. Pretty sure Alabama had more 4 and 5 star recruits the past 2 years. UGA has been higher rated recruiting for a few years. I think Ohio State has also. None of it kept Clemson from playing for the Natty the last 2 years and winning it last year. Once again...noone even wanted Hunter Renfrow...period!!! If great recruiting or high draft picks in the NFL were the end all and be all, then Tennessee would be in the playoffs and the Cleveland Browns would be in the Super Bowl. Relax!!!!

You are dead wrong on Hunter R..............HE wanted CLEMSON. The kid was a good, solid player and had scholarship offers elsewhere. His blood was Orange!!

He had offers at smaller Colleges, but no major Universities like Clemson. He entered the Clemson program as a walk on, and was later awarded a scholarship at Clemson. I agree he wanted Clemson, but prior to becoming a walk on, Clemson was not offering him a scholarship. He had offers from Appalachian State, Wofford, Gardner Webb, and Presbyterian. He had to pay tuition at first to attend Clemson. He was rated a 2* recruit by Rivals.com.

You can find a couple diamonds in the rough evey now and then but you can’t build an offensive line with them....

My point is....FSU had a higher rated recruiting class than Clemson in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017...still, they just went 6-6. Clemson has made the playoffs 3 straight years whil FSU did not. Clemson has a knack for taking a 2* recruit like Hunter Renfrow and have him playing like a 5* recruit.

you don't win a national championship with 85 Hunter Renfrows. we turned the corner when we signed our first 5 star o lineman ever in Mitch Hyatt. people REALLY want to sign Mays because he has the possibility of being that kind of player. don't get me wrong, I love Renfrow. he's one of my favorite tigers of all time but if we want to remain at the top, we MUST sign guys like Mays to keep up. I think the fact that UGA is the other school makes it worse because nobody wants to see them take our spot at the top

My point is Clemson has signed less 5* recruits than FSU every year since 2013...yet Clemson has gone to the playoffs 3 straight years while the 5* recruits at FSU watched on TV. Recruiting is important, but Clemson became elite by developing lower ranked recruiting teams. If just signing the most 5* recruits were the most important, Clemson would have been watching FSU in the playoffs the past few years.

Yea we get that.
But FSU don’t sign 5* talent on the OL and now look at them.

We have to sign great players regardless of star rating

The truth however, is that most great players have a high star rating.
We don't have to get a dozen 5-star guys, but we have to get mostly 4 and 5 star guys with a few under-rated 3 stars who develop in to great players.
Hunter Renfro's are a temendous anomaly in the process. A 2-star like Hunter Renfor is as rare as a 5-star like Trevor Lawrence. You cannot count on getting them every year.
