Building a defsensive class

Building a defensive recruiting class after the loss of Robert Nkemdiche. This has been the top issue for Dabo Swinney the last two days. Everyone has been so focused on the comings and goings of the top defensive end, they have failed to notice some of the other notable additions to the Clemson lineup. Clemson has recently added Scott Pagano, the Hawaiian defensive tackle, and also have been trying to coerce Montravius Adams, another defensive tackle into becoming a Tiger. While the Tigers have slowly been chipping away at becoming a top 10 team, it is becoming more challenging for the recruiting staff to keep players away from Alabama, LSU, and Ole Miss. Through the months Clemson has lost several good commits to these other schools. Dabo and his recruiting staff have added several important defensive backs to the depth chart. The staff will be focused heavily on bringing a unstoppable defensive to Death Valley next year. If they get whip the defense into shape, next year the Clemson Tigers can be on of the top ranked teams in the NCAA. 

Clemson in the fight for another top recruit

Montravius Adams says he has narrowed down his college choices down to five final top choice, and it just so happens that Clemson is one of them. The other four of his top choices are Alabama (obviously!), Florida Gators, Auburn (The other "tigers"), And Georgia Bulldogs. Adams has had offers from 20 other universities. Several experts are saying that Alabama is the most obvious choice for the 6'4, 310 lbs. defensive lineman, but he has not officially made a decision yet. The big advantage that Clemson has, is the fact that have already committed the number one pick for next season. This young defensive star would be a great addition to the Tiger's line, hopefully Dabo will be able to charm this young man into joining the Clemson family.
