The attention from the fans regarding Friday night’s All In Cookout might have centered on who didn’t show up, but it was one commit that did show up who stole the show.
The Clemson coaching staff held its signature recruiting event Friday night, the first year the event was held in the new Reeves Football Operations Center instead of the Madren Center. Three big-time Clemson targets for the 2018 recruiting cycle that were expected to attend never showed up, even though all three had good excuses.
Five-star defensive back Anthony Cook had a death in the family, 5-star offensive guard Jamaree Salyer had transportation issues and fellow offensive lineman Trey Hill and his family got the date of the event mixed up, thinking it was going to be held Saturday.
