This is what other programs feel when Dabo steals away a 5-star and keeps building his dynasty. TG we're on the right end of it in football.
The big illusion bought in to by so many is that one big recruit was going to change the program. (A one-and-doner on top of that) We had radio hosts wetting the bed over this guy, couldn't wait for the big day and announcement, like their lives were going to be different.
Great "programs" are right there on all kinds of big recruits all the time, win some, and lose some, but are at least in the running. This is not the case with Clemson BB.
