Where do recruits come from?

I'm sure you've been sitting around watching college football and thought to yourself, "Where do the coaches find these guys?" There are numerous ways a coach or recruitment staff can discover a young player. Through local high schools, word-of-mouth, or junior colleges. But for Clemson, Dabo refuses to recruit any player from a junior college. But unfortunately Clemson administration has strict rules on transfer players. With any type of junior college player, they must be able to transfer in a certain amount of hours into a degree to make them eligible . Many people have assumed that Dabo will not recruit these types of players, but his lack of junior college players is actually a restriction put in place by the administration, not on Dabo's personal preference.

Jae'Lon Oglesby

Jae'Lon Oglesby a high school junior from Daniel High school (just a few short miles from Clemson University), helped lead his team in a huge victory. In a recent title game Oglesby rushed for 380 yards, which contributed to his overall 2000 yards for the season. This 2014 commit still has one year to go before he will be running down the hill, but he has already expressed extreme interest in wearing orange every Saturday. This young man will be a great addition to the Tiger's offense, but unfortunately, as we have seen all season, the offense is not something Clemson struggles with. It's the defense.

Elijah Daniel Uncommitted ... maybe?

Elijah Daniel the top Defensive End recruit for Clemson, may have uncommitted from attending Clemson University. He sent out a Tweet on October 20, saying that Clemson "Did not feel right", and also that his family didn't think so tho either. When questioned about the tweet, (which is now deleted) Elijah says that his account was "hacked", but it is well known that Ole Miss was trying very hard to try and have him commit. If these two events are connected, only time will be able to tell.

High School Junior Gaining Attention of Clemson

Kwamelle Barnes, a high school junior from Saluda, SC, has quickly been gaining recognition from several recruiting staffs. The 6'4, 280 lbs., with a size 17 shoes, this defensive and offensive lineman is beginning to make quite a stir within the Clemson Tiger's recruiting team. While he is only a junior in high school, it is never too early to start taking offers on star looking prospects. Barnes believes his first offer to a school should be coming soon. He says that he has interests in several different schools right now, but has not visited any yet.

Peach County's Wide Reciever

Any Clemson fan would know that one thing Dabo does not lack is wide receivers, but Clemson is trying to take hold of yet another star receiver. The Tiger's are a strong offensive team, with several leading receivers, and hopefully will have another in the next season. The recruiting staff has committed Demarcus Robinson from Peach County, Georgia. The 6'3 football player has over 400 yards receiving in this season with an average of over 100 yards per a game.
