thaitopher 807 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Blows my mind how they could be ranked so low just after winning the National Championship. Did Dabo take the off-season off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Dabo take the off-season off? Nope. Their plan the whole time was to take only about 15. Not sure why their numbers are like that but that's what their reporters have been saying for a while. The more important number is the grade per recruit average & they are 5 in the nation in that catagory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Interesting that next year they also have only a dozen or so slots....at least right now. Not sure how they got that way but sounds like their attrition is much lower than AU and many other schools. Careful recruiting of players they need I guess.

True, but at the same time, with back-to-back trips, they should have done better this year. Guess Carolina is just hard to recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's 4 classes out. I've done the research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True... not sure why they only intended to take 15... Side by side, Auburn had 3 more overall players on the team, last year, and 2 more Freshmen than Clemson. When drop seniors, the total numbers are only off by 1. Not only that, but they had several Juniors leave early... Doesn't make sense to me, but then again, I don't follow Clemson.

AUIH1 1,515 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Dabo is a damn good coach with a damn good staff. It will be interesting to see how he does without D Watson. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,080 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 FWIW I talked to the Clemson 247 recruiting reporter & he said they only signed 15 because that's all they had room for under the 85 limit. Apparently Dabo doesn't process players much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard him a while back mention this number and indicate that next year will be similar....apparently does not process many and I guess has lots of red shirts too. Nice for him to have stability in the line-up and experienced depth coming along. I hate that we have so much turnover and seems no matter how many guys we bring in...we are always a young team with inexperienced players in key positions.

They have had 6 years of stud qb play. I doubt it will be any different. They seem to be one of the best teams in the country in signing elite QB and WRs. O and of course developing them as well.
