Stars and Physics

Remember, as you look to the heavens each night...all that you see has already happened. It's the same with recruits. Their stars are 'to that point in time'.
From afar, it's tough to distinguish and for many staffs across the country, discerning a star's composition is difficult. The Tiger staff's ability to assess, enveloped within a culture of 'All In' and a personal growth track unique to each player is, I believe, what continues to raise the bar. It's also fundamental to why so many high-stars are comfortable choosing Clemson, despite coming from being a big fish from a very small pond. That, would be 'character'!
Lastly, as many may know, 'red stars' are on their last legs. Yeah, they're big, but...leave those to Georgia's, Bama's, OU's, and tOSU's of the world. A color ain't all that!

I failed physics twice

and never took astronomy but if you mean that Clemson gets who they want because of their unique approach that places character and “fit” above ranking, I agree. Hmmm... maybe I should give physics another go.

The Oculus knows all. To put it in the proper perspective.
Clemson Oculus = Hubble Telescope
All other programs = magnifying glass from a Cracker Jack box

The tigernet forums have really been on point lately. More threads dealing with astronomy and existentialism than ever before.

I don't agree with all you posts

But I like this one a lot.
It seems like our coaches are playing chess while everyone else continues to play checkers in recruiting. We shrink our pool of potential recruits, make less offers than anyone, and actually back off recruits if the process reveals something we don't like. We put a premium on making sure we don't bring in poisonous players and the dividends have been fantastic (read two NC's and 4 playoff births). How do other programs not see this and realize that fit is as important as talent when asking 80+ young men to commit to your vision. It blows my mind others don't see this but I'll gladly accept status que in those regards.

Actually, EVERYTHING you see has already happened.

Just not necessarily as long ago as the state of a star.
