Recruiting is essentially over. Yep, there will

be a few last minute surprises for most top 25 teams but most 4 and 5 stars have, as a courtesy, already let coaches know where they are going and will make their TV debuts at their high schools. They deserve that. Coaches are now silently celebrating or going after others to fill gaps. That's reality.

We seem to be the ones trying to fill the gaps.

accept. I have been a realist on here and people say its just negativity. They think they are going to wake up Wednesday and find all these big time dbs when we are going after Edmonds and even Carter, who we weren't going to take even for RN.
I think we peaked too early with this recruiting class and it just didn't hold up. I also think a lot of our commits and our close to commits got SEC fever. We need to get used to that because unlike all the ACC schools north of us, our recruiting grounds are in SEC land, including our home state.
There's not much north of us and we don't get any recruits east of us. I haven't seen a bluechip yet come out of the Atlantic Ocean.

is some recent concern over Tankersly making it in from prep school. That also equals two DB's, so I am not sold we have wiffed on both our prime DB targets. Not saying we get both, but I think we get one.
As for the SEC fever, well, our two most impactful decommits this year seemed to be due to Mommas, not the SEC. Both D Robinson and RN's Moms seemed to be biggest hurdle to keeping both of those players. We may have eventually lost RN, but I'm convinced Robinson would have enrolled at Clemson a few weeks ago if not for his Mom falling in love with a late arriving Muschamp.

I think we missed on Alexander. We had three transfers Davis, Townsend, and Roberts. Three new targets to fill there spots; Woulard, Edmond, Carter. Green is a fill in for the one miss. Dabo announced he would like to take 22-24 this class, and that was before we had the transfers so anything is possible.
