14 four stars and 2 five stars by 247 ranking. There are so many top-shelf players in this program--outstanding!

Dabo & Co's talent evaluation


Dec 16, 2020, 9:00 AM

....and player development are second to none. There is simply not another CFB program that does it better.

If Dabo recruited a minimum of 4 OL every year, he'd be almost perfect.

Reckless96, Tigers O, Quozzel - Do you all think our Staff ( and yes, I am asking for you to speculate here ) are believers in "their own evaluation when it comes to OL"? In other words, OL are notoriously hard to project how well they will transition in college. Especially if the kid is just bigger than everyone else in H.S. You know - how will he react and handle it when the defensive player is big and powerful too!
I have a suspicion they don't like the star rating when it comes to this particular position "especially"! They have offered a 3 star kid and passed on higher star rated players in the past. People find out - wow, Clemson didn't even offer. And that kid will end up being a solid contributor or an Isiah Simmons who was a 3 star who developed into a 1st round pick.
Do you all think that's what it is? Or do you think Bama, Florida, Georgia and Ohio State are out there doing negative recruiting toward Clemson as far as OL goes? I.E. they point out - the lack of OL players Clemson has put in the NFL! A kid and a kids parents hear that and they - "give in to fear they won't make the league if they go to Clemson"!
Has to be something! We got Jackson Carmen - and Mitch Hyatt - both 5 star guys! And immediate impact guys like their star rating said they were. But, we have not had good luck with that particular position. Just puzzling as to why!

I honestly have no idea what Clemson's recruiting strategy is, or why we don't put O-linemen in the NFL at the same rate as other positions.

One theory is that running a zone blocking scheme instead of man blocking hurts our player development. With the dudes that Clemson signs at the OL position it's unusual that we're still running a scheme designed for a smaller and less talented OL's. It's not 2010 anymore. In 2020 Clemson has recruited enough elite OL pesonell to run over teams if they want to.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a change in the off-season, especially if the run game costs us a "W" from here on out.
