Swinney: ‘They were the No. 1 class in the country for a reason’

Dabo Swinney always says time will tell with recruiting rankings, and he thinks recruiting services should rank signing classes four years later instead of coming out of high school because, in his opinion, how good a class truly ends up being depends on performance, development, graduation, etc.

However, when Clemson’s head coach looks at his current freshman class, he is confident in saying the highly touted group will live up to its lofty billing.

The Tigers’ 2020 class was ranked No. 1 in the country by ESPN, and Swinney believes all 23 of the student-athletes his program signed last December will pan out and be really good players before all is said and done.
