Fourteen different states are represented on this year’s Clemson football team. The numbers of each state, I’ll break down momentarily, really show that the Tigers don’t have to go very far from the comfy confines of Death Valley to find the talent they need to run an elite program.
If I recall correctly, former head coach Danny Ford would draw a circle, on a map, with a radius of 200 miles from Clemson.
That was the target area the coaching staff would focus on during recruiting. Many similarities are brought up during comparisons of Coach Swinney and Coach Ford.
