Lyn-J Dixon the latest example of honesty paying off for Clemson in recruiting

Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott has been on the recruiting trail for decades, beginning as a tag-along recruiter with his father Brad Scott when Jeff was in elementary school.

Jeff is now entering his 10th year as a full-time assistant coach at Clemson and has built a reputation as being one of the top recruiters in the country.

During Scott’s time as a recruiter he has seen his share of interesting recruiting tactics. One that bothers him the most is seeing coaches make promises to players that they can’t keep.

“Head coaches are sending these kids texts and they are guaranteeing that they’re going to be the starting corner or wideout or whatever for that team Day 1,” Scott said.
