In a warped college football recruiting landscape where verbal scholarship offers are often given out like candy, Clemson takes a different approach.
The recruiting process has become accelerated in recent years, with more and more college football programs not only extending a huge number of offers, but also offering prospects earlier and earlier. It isn’t all that uncommon anymore to hear of a college “offering” a kid while they’re still in middle school.
With the growing trend of underclassmen offers has come an increasing number of “non-commitable offers” — an offer where a recruit cannot simply call the school’s coaching staff and make a commitment.
