Recruiting We are currently 25th in scout, 30th in rivals

and 13th in ESPN. I don't think ESPN's is really up to speed. Surprising that some schools such as Auburn and Tennessee that have fired their coaches at the end of terrible seasons are ahead of us in Rivals and Scout.
I know our coaches are great recruiters and have always done a good job at this. Some years you just have bad luck, or you get tied up with less than classy prospects that mucked up your time with star drama.
The bottom line is we do need to make up some ground with very little time and I'm not sure how many we are working with and which of those we have a decent chance of getting.
I would love to see us somehow manage to finish in the top 15 in Scout and Rivals. Do we have a legit chance of accomplishing this at this point?

No....would have to get all of our remaining targets and other teams lose ahead of us lose some of theirs. We need to change our policy of backing off players when we get commits at that position. It is really hurting us now. You cannot get back in their good graces this late in the game.

to blast the staff? We are in great shape with Adams and Lawson and about to land Crowder for sure. 2 WR's decomitt and everyone blast the staff that has produced 3 straight top 10 classes.

unless many of us KNOW - repeat KNOW - beyond a shadow of a doubt that the sky IS, in fact falling. And if you knew ANYTHING about football recruiting you would share our alarm. The coaches are twiddling their thumbs while Nuk is leaving and other WRs are decommiting. You have to wonder if Dabo and Chad even know that we are now in dire straits. Jeff Scott - where are you???? I am now convinced that Tajh made the wrong decision to stay at Clemson. He will have NO - repeat NO - targets to throw to. We are doomed. I see 5-7 season in 2013. Geeze!

We moved from #18 to #30 by losing 1 recruit. If you don't think we can get in the top 15 you are crazy. Honestly we would move into the top 15 with the addition of Lawson. We could still make the top 10 if we landed Lawson, Alexander, and Adams.

What FBS school are you recruiting for?

When you criticize a recruiter that's done what Clemson's recruiter has done in the last three years you remove all doubt that you are ignorant of recruiting tactics.

Why do you put so much stock into rivals and scout and not so much into ESPN. Maybe this year, ESPN has it correct and the others are wrong. CASE IN POINT BEN BOULWARE! ESPN is the only one that sees what this young man is about. The others could care less. Niehbur(sp)has even said that much in his post about Ben. "Clemson fans might not think this, but he (Boulware) is right where he needs to be, and that will not change." 3*

ESPN R the only rankings that matter.

Which ones do you think people will here the most ? The ones broadcast 24 hours a day on an all sports channel, not some pay service that doesn't have the man power it once did, because their experts have been hired away by the same 24 hour a day sports channel. Since ESPN started ESPN U, they dedicated far more resourses to cover recruiting than all the services have combined. Right or wrong , they're the top dog now.
As someone else stated, it surprised me how fast they were to move Ben up,

Are ones that cannot see, converse, and think logically on these issues....I learned this during my days at Clemson as both a grad and undergrad! And continued to think this way during my 39 years in IPTAY, thanks!

They leave out some of the most important factors.

Tajh was the #1 recruit in the land this year. We have a banner Junion Class returning. We only lost 13 or 14 players. 12 grads, one NFL and most likely one for academic problems. Our soph class is really good too, expecially our linemen.
We are more focused on what we need rather than what's out there. For instance, TAM looses a ton of talent this year. They can't replace some of those linemen with this class. It looks as if they will sign 30 or more. That makes them appear much closer than they really are to a well staffed football squad.
Clemson has already filled in some holes. Let see what else we can get!

just bad luck this year

its frustrating for sure, but i think it's just bad luck...most of our decommits were big time recruits which makes it sting more, but pretty much every school (bama, ND, FSU, SC, etc) has been hit w/ a big time decommitment so far...seems like UF and Ole Miss have benefited most raiding others commits
