The reason Clemson is recruiting you is to help prevent the

opponent from scoring. Please reconsider Clemson's thinking on defense. You can come in and play as a freshman along with Ben Boulware. One heck of a LB corp.

It should be appealing to him that we have a great offense and a weaker defense. He can come in and make a difference right away. We are getting looked at by higher rated recruits these days and the future is looking bright.

lol that really does make no sense. Well we can prove that theory wrong this year with a better season on D. Idk where he gets we're just loading up on offense, we got top rated LB's all over the place, Blanks and Alexander were highly rated DB's. We got a solid D-line depth now. Nothing we can really do except put up the results that our talent shows on paper.

The D can't be any worse than last year, he will surely see improvement to help guide him with his decision.

though we aren't only loading up on offense. We took a ton of DBs and LBs lately.

Yeah that's without a doubt the words of other teams and coaches right their. Hopefully he takes a real close look at what we have brought in on D the last couple years.

His comments make perfect sense. He does not want his talent to be "wasted" on a bad defense. We have to prove to these impact defensive players we are for real!

For sure. Let's hope our defense can make strides this year to show him Clemson isn't a one trick pony.
If we can step up this year on the defensive side of the ball, then I believe we can provide a great atmosphere for McMillan to thrive early. We had some great LB commits in the current junior class which haven't performed up to their potential yet, and I firmly believe that was because of their youth paired with the lack of leadership on defense. When guys like Stephone Anthony came in, he was expected to be one of the leaders on the defense which is so much to ask of a young defensive player. Now it seems like we've got a veteran core (which includes Anthony) with strong leadership.
Freshman can thrive on defense when leadership is already in place and they are allowed to focus on their own growth in the system and showcase their physical abilities. Next year's defense could provide that opportunity.

This young man gets it.
You win with Defense.
It doesn't matter how many Sammy Watkins we have. Yeah we can pretty much win 8 or 9 games that way each year but until we load up with talent on D (and I think we are getting close at certain positions) its going to be hard to go all the way

Show this kid that 15 out of our 23 recruits last year were for defense. To stop teams from scoring 70. We also have 4 defensive players this year in a class where we needed to load up on offense. This kid is a beast and well worth an oversign.

Yea,
I was abit confused by his statements. Its like, well..they're going after offensive players so, they don't need me.
But then, if you had ALOT of verbals from defensive players, he would probably be like, well, they don't need me cause they have too many others.
Confused there. Anyways..
if we get him fine, otherwise..no biggie. I like the 2 LBs we have committed.

mentioned it specifically when he signed. Guys like M. Adams, RN, Clowney etc were "sold" on Clemson being an offense first team. We need to change that quick!

himself.
Large D class last year at the needed positions of concern, most LB talent will be upperclassmen, which gives the 2013/2014 LBs plenty of early playing time next year and so on.
We all know we have the top paid DC, whose scheme is a true LBs dream.
Coach V gets it done, with the aid of Coach Reed, an experienced front 7, plenty of depth in the secondary, then add in Milan Richard/other "Choice" GA commits.
If RM doesn't chose Clemson, then I will be the confused one.
