Definitely!! Clemson could be getting ready to have the best recruiting class ever. The Coaching Staff is doing an exceptional job getting the cream of the crop on campus for visits and as shown last week, at Dabo's Camp. Well on the way to building a great football team for the foreseeable future. Keep up the great job!!!!

Instead of enjoying the best they will ever be they are here

It seems they are coming to reality and they are dreaming of the special love, unity, Best as a standard and family that Clemson is!!
National Championship, a rich history of football that goes back with Joe Heisman, Frank Howard and Danny Ford. The thoughts of Dabo Swinney building another legacy that is built on truth, integrity, unity and love that can't be measured. A connection to Clemson is something they consider best too. They measure themselves with us rather than having something they did in the past to work toward. We should all feel sorry for the players that go there and never have mentors that invest in their lives in all areas. An addicted leader will have a measurement invested in his pride and addiction. The players will always be his scape goat. Imagine if they go out in their places of work and lead the same way.
The coat tails of a conference that have the same ones winning is beginning to become a reality for the recruits coming in. Being the closest place to home give them some guys that aren't looking for best as a standard.
I love the article and it is just fact. We are building for a legacy of many years as the standard is BEST and we will challenge for the National Championship ever year. The high school coaches are seeing exactly what is happening but they continue to bring more guys every year.
God has been good to Dabo and him investing himself in the players life's in all areas!!
Go TIGERS!!!

Championship teams are built from the inside out. Glad we are getting the hogs that will let the skill shine through.

of our program. Dabo has and continues to build a "powerhouse" program.
It amazes me that he doesn't get the respect he deserves simply because he was never a coordinator.
I honestly believe there are few coaches in the nation that could've led the turn around he's led over the last few years.

statement in a few years. It was a stupid statement then by people opposed to Dabo's hiring and not sure of what you would call such a dumb statement now that he has proven to be an excellent coach.

in his heart of which he wanted to build his program upon. Then surrounded himself with unbelievable coaching talent who know the game and 12 new recruits who believed him and the infancy of a dynasty was born! Boom! Go Tigers!!!

skill positions (depending on the year). Nuk's freshmen year we were okay. But in the trenches, we've been average. Playing in the ACC that's been enough for 9-11 wins. But FSU passed us by recently by recruiting very well at every position. Next years class is truly the foundation of a national championship type of program. It will take a few years for the line to be filled tackle to tackle with stud juniors. If we have three consecutive classes like 2015, then about 2018 we're looking at a Bama/FSU kind of program. Until then, we're still a 9-11 win team. Life is good and the needle is pointing up.

good as any in the country and our OL isn't as lacking as some seem to think. It's taken a few years to build depth, but that is coming to fruition even with the unexpected losses of at least 3 OTs to injury in recent years.

It's exciting to see the state of our program is in great hands with CDS. He run a tight knit program and sticks to his values. I love that he continues to raise the bar.
Any recent news on Ray Ray? How has Jokers dismissal from UF affected his decision?
Thanks
Go Tigers!

winning and building a monster program, and beating FSU and USuCk will take care of itself, is spot-on. Granted, losing 5 in a row to the coots is entirely unacceptable, as is getting blown out by FSU. However, it happened, and the way to ensure it doesn't happen again is by continuing to build the program the way he's building it - the right way.
Can't help but feel that big, big things are in store. Look at where the program is now compared to where it was 10 years ago, or 20 years ago; we are truly on a different level now.

Dabo, coaches, players and Clemson are building a program

that is climbing the mountain of national prominence that has a solid foundation. The horizon is very bright and getting brighter. On top of all this is the manner in which the program is being built with high character kids and coaches.

"Dabo needs to be kicked to the curb. 5 losses to USC is unforgivable and unacceptable."
To the ones who have said this in the (not so distant) past...see how stupid you sound?
