1. No on-campus recruiting visits

Getting back to the All-In Cookout, the fact that no on-campus visits have been allowed for quite some time doesn’t help the Tigers.

We went through the full spring without having recruiting visitors on campus and that may be a bigger blow to this program than many understand.

While I don’t believe that any of these issues have permanently damaged the program, it should be noted that Clemson has been built on the simple fact that the atmosphere, the culture, the location, they’re all just different.

It can’t be explained, but there’s simply “something in these hills.”

Next. Several Tigers became millionaires this week. dark

Not being able to take prospects on tours and show them the family culture and atmosphere, especially this offseason, has certainly not helped Clemson football as we’ve progressed through the spring and summer.
