So is he 3 or 4 star?

Whatever. Welcome aboard, kid. You've made the right choice.
"The 6-4, 290-pound 3-star prospect had offers from many of the nation’s top programs, but had recently narrowed his choices down to Clemson and Florida, but ended the suspense late Friday."

ESPN I think. They felt like he was going to be in the ACC, so they put him as a 3 star untill they knew where he was going. If he would have went to the SEC, he would have been a been 4/5 star....

You are probably right of the issuance of stars. It doesn't matter, though. He is a beast, and he will prove to be a huge get for us and a huge loss for the secheat.

Lets just say he is one of the best D tackles in the country. And stars don't make him one of the best. Hard work and natural talent does....

“I remember when I was coaching down at Florida, we would always lose kids in recruiting battles to Clemson. I would tell my coaches that we shouldn’t be losing kids to Clemson. Charlie Strong responded ‘coach have you ever actually been to Clemson?’ I hadn’t but I’ll tell you what, I’ve been here now and I get it. This is an exceptional, special place.” — Urban Meyer

Urban Meyer is absolutely right, and smart players see it, too, when they get to Clemson. There is something so special in those hills!!! And it is going to be even more special very soon!!!

This was a huge statement by a very gifted player. Kudos to Dabo and the recruiting staff, coaches and to the whole program. Kudos, also, go out to Carlos for making a wise decision and for being a guy of character and good judgement, in addition to being a beast on the field. We are building a great program, and if we keep going, it will be a dynasty. It is going to be so fun to watch this develop and mature over the next few years. Go Tigers!!!

Big man is just sweeting the pot for us when we will be needing him the most. A very big welcome to Clemson Carlos. The pro's will be calling for you after a few years under Coach Steele....

Let's give coach Brooks some credit here. He's the DL coach and we are darn fortunate to have him.
