The end of May and the beginning of June is a busy time for Clemson. Not only are the spring sports in their postseasons, but Football is entering the most important part of the recruiting calendar.

This time of year is when two things happen for Clemson Football. First, the upcoming class of high school prospects begins their official visits. The Tigers like to have as many of their primary targets on campus as possible.

June 1 is also the traditional target date when Clemson will begin officially offering the next class of rising high school juniors. While many schools extend offers much earlier than the summer before their junior season, the Tigers (under Dabo Swinney) have waited until June to send out the first offers.

Per 247Sports, the Tigers have extended sixteen offers thus far.
