2016 National Signing Day: Clemson Brings In Best Class In School History

The 2016 football class is officially complete, and Clemson has brought in a record class for the school. This is the most talented and deepest football class Clemson has ever seen. Even though Clemson only has 1 5-star according to 247's composite, the class has 12 4-star players and maybe most importantly, no guys below 3-stars.

Obviously we always want Clemson to bring in as many talented players as possible, but what gets us to the level of an Alabama or Florida State? SB Nation's Bud Elliott examined the importance of blue-chip recruits, guys with 4 or 5 stars, and found the importance of the 50% threshold.
