That took all the national pundits by surprise. Good for us. Now all we need is to land Fields to keep us a top 5 class come Feb 28.

Starting to think that there is a feeling that Clemson is building a National Championship team and everyone is wanting to be a part of that. What would you do if you saw what our freshman and sophmores are doing now, plus the guys we have coming in and the high caliber players that are committing right now. IF you take a step back and look,  our recruiting class is doing a lot of the recruiting for us. If I was a player and saw all of these 4 and 5 star guys committing, I would want to as well.

+1 to that. Nothing attracts more and better players than fresh talent and great rated players coming in like this. With Watson at the helm, I am just hoping we do amazing things in the next year or two.

Didn't know that. Pretty cool. I just hate having all of these great things happen to us, then we always fall short. I had suck great hopes for someone at Clemson to win the Heisman for once when Tajh played, but had a few bad games, then was hopeful to at least make it to the NC, but fell short again. With Watson and all of these great sophmores, etc, I really hope we have a good chance at making a run at it.
