The Clemson football program has struggled mightily in the recruiting department since the NCAA imposed a Dead Period more than a year ago.

All programs have been effected in one way or another, but there have been several recruitments during this time period where the Tigers weren’t able to get a solid footing that they likely would have if the prospect had been able to visit.
