Big names highlight weekend visitor's list

Huggins will be back in Clemson for an official visit.

by Nikki Hood - Staff Writer - Fri Nov 28 12:24:20 GMT-04:00 2014

An early start time, a big game and a rivalry game all mean one thing: some of the region’s top talent will descend on Clemson Saturday afternoon for official and unofficial visits.

Clemson’s biggest official visit weekend was last weekend with most of the early enrollees coming in so that they could spend more time with the staff, but Saturday’s game will feature a bevy of 2016 talent, as well as a couple of big name 2015 prospects.
