James is definitely one. Daquan signing was huge. Shame his best season was our worst as a program. Unrelated but unfortunate.

I too would go back another year and look to James Davis as the guy who once again legitimized Clemson as a worthy school for top athletes to at least consider.

James Davis, Daquan Bowers, CJ Spiller, and Jacoby Ford... They seemed to have set the foundation for going forward and put Clemson back on the map. They were all highly regarded recruits and most pundits never saw Clemson as an option (except for Bowers). Ever since them, it seems that we have stolen a 5* out of FL or GA pretty much every year. And now Spiller is one the biggest ambassadors to the program as well as Tajh..

JD was fine with CJ coming aboard. Had he not been on board with that , who knows what would have happened ? Recruiting has gotten better every year since then.
Gotta give Boyd his due, after all he sat in on the meeting with The Chad and gave his OK.

I think Mackensie Alexander has helped over the past few years as well. He was a 5* recruit and #4 overall. That helped change the secondary, a spot of the biggest need on the entire team during that span. I'm thinking that helped land not only him, but Kearse as well as Baker, Edmond, Gibson and Wiggins...also Briscoe (even though he decomitted), and now Fields. I know you said "player", but Coach Reed also helped to boost that area with his hire.
