Imperialism
Clemson has flexed its recruiting muscle in the past, but we are seeing things in this program we have never seen. Clemson is going into the backyards of national powers and getting the best players from their areas. This has to be the toughest task in recruiting, but the Tiger staff fears no one.
It's no longer news to go to Massachusetts and beat Boston College or Penn State for Christian Wilkins or North Carolina and beat NC State for Dexter Lawrence even though both were five stars.
What is extremely difficult is going into Knoxville and signing Tee Higgins and Amari Rodgers.
