I've noticed a disturbing trend in recruiting


Jun 18, 2014, 9:01 AM

Yes I know we are bringing in some good quality guys with high star ratings, but how vested are they really in Clemson as a program and as a family?

I've noticed that more and more of the recruits are committing to the University of Clemson, not Clemson University. If they don't even care enough to get our school's name correct, then can we really truly rely upon them to perform on the field? Are they just committing to us for our hawt wimmins and free education?

Also, in the photo in the below article, you can see that Mitch isn't wearing anything orange or Clemson related, and Jake's Clemson hat is a pale blue color, I didn't even know we had Clemson hats like that.

Can we really be sure that they're "ALL IN" with this type of behavior pervading our recruiting class?? So what if they throw a poker chip in a bucket before the game, being ALL IN is a lifestyle, not a little pregame ritual.

who announce they are committed to the "University of Clemson".

We have to protect our brand, and setting a few examples along the way will stop that nonsense.

Jun 18, 2014, 10:39 AM

You are so over reacting! As usual. I can't believe you haven't gotten more TD's with this junk.

I may be a coot but Dabo only goes after kids that are willing to go "all-in". I think he spends a good bit of time with each of them individually and makes sure that they understand what "all-in" really means.

So what if they wear a different colored jersey and pronounce the school name wrong...that is only a problem if you are trying to banter on tnet. That kinda junk might get you some TD's but it won't keep you off the field.

I seriously just have to smh my head at you sometimes newb.

It is NOT the end of the world dude!!

Most of these young men just want to play FOOTBALL and get an education from a respected "University".

Once they get on campus, get acclimated to college life, etc., they will be fully indoctrinated on the fact that we are "Clemson University" and the "University of Clemson"

THEY ARE 17-19.....kids!!!

"ALL IN" or not. All I'm saying is that there might be some cause for concern what with the other trends also.

I mean Mitch is supposed to be the lynch pin of this class and he ain't even repping our colors or logo...makes me nerveous...maybe Georgia is making a late push for him?

You can't blame your recruits for not wanting to wear the ugliest colors on earth - orange and purple. I love it when Clemson wears those purple uniforms though they are appropriate for the AYE SHE SHE. :)
