We did offer Mike, but he never really gave us a chance. I think he didn't want to be seen as following James around.
As for Clowney, I'm not sure he was ever going anywhere but SC. He gave us a sniff at the end, but he was expected to end up at SC throughout his recruitment.
On North, didn't we basically stop putting much effort into recruiting him for a while? We had two WRs who ended up decommitting, so even though he had interest in us, we might not have been able to take him at the time. By the time we tried to get back involved with him, he felt like we'd slighted him and he wa bound for Tennessee or UNC.
Another guy you ought to mention was Josh Malone. He's a guy Clemson legitimately tried to get, but who just went the other way at the end.
Marlin Lane will be starting at RB for Tennessee this year, and Clemson told him he wasn't welcome any more after he'd been committed for some time.

Wasn't he arrested. That certainly put him on thin ice. Here's the funny thing about him; "Lane's future seemed so set with Clemson that he got a small tiger paw next to a train bursting through a brick wall tattooed on his arm."

it doesn't matter how talented he is, Clemson isn't going change grades to get a player in.

Since when is Gronk an egomaniac? He's just a meathead.

Carl Lawson, Ronald Darby, and Demarcus Robison are 3 others that we were very much in the running for until the end... But hey, we have recruited extremely well over the years and can't get them all! Everybody wanted DW, Sammy, CJ, Hyatt, McCloud, Cain, Bowers, etc...

Yahoos!
They obviously weren't "ALL IN", didn't have the heart or the Kahoonahs to be TIGERS and all bought into the "$EC" hype machine!
The "total package" will be fine without them, so Cest La Vie......
GO TIGERS!!!!!

We weren't recruiting Quinshad Davis, because we were already loaded at receiver. Mike Davis showed no interest in us, so we didn't even try to pursue him. Nkehmdiche turned out to be a trouble maker. Didn't need North because we are loaded at WR.
Top 2 are the only ones we missed out on.
