Quandon Christian-LB-3 already committed
Quinton Washington-OT-4, still coming as of Jan. 7, but SC is the team to beat here.
Justin Green-DB-4, already committed to Ohio State
Terrell Mitchell-TE-3, recruited by UGA and Kentucky, UGA is the team to beat.
Corico Hawkins-ILB-3, already committed
Eric Fields-ILB-3, already committed-CANCELLED
Brandon Thomas-T-4, already committed.
Tim Simon-OLB-3, an Ole Miss commit but we have a shot.
Roderic Blunt-ILB-3, son of Rodney Blunt
Kyrhi Thornton-DT-3, another Hargrave player-CANCELLED
JerQuari Schofield-OT-3, very big at 6'6" 300, already committed to Tennessee.
Tevin McCaskill also cancelled.
Jonathan Scott-S-3, also coming in this weekend, Scott also has visited USC, West Virginia and Alabama and is down to those three with Clemson. WVU lean.
Tyler Shatley-ATH-3, already committed, but we dont know quite where he'll play at the LOS.

Jamal Patterson - WR - Stanford commitment "considering" a visit.

Izaan Cross was mentioned, but hasnt confirmed his visit.

This is probably the biggest weekend we have left, but we do still have prospects coming on the 16th and 23rd.

Bryce McNeal, the #1 WR in Minnesota and #14 nationally, picked Clemson at the Army High School All American game over the weekend. He was recruited by Dabo and Jeff Scott. This was a guy we were lucky to get a visit from, and it was our visit that swayed him over Oregon and Oklahoma. Unfortunately he pulled a Holtz, and when he announced he said "University of Clemson." Hopefully he's smarter than Granny Clampett.

Clemson is competing with BC for a visit from Tajh Boyd, and if the rumors of Jagz' firing are true, we may get lucky. Unfortunately TNet believes he's the next Korn, and people already think he'll only sit as backup one year here after the RS....which proves the vast stupidity of TardNet. Boyd is a 4-star QB and possibly a Woody/Vick clone.

*****As of tonight, TI reports we are getting the visit from Boyd this weekend*****But this has been retracted and he is not visiting this weekend.

Dabo had an in-house with Leon Mackey, DE from Hargrave, and pulled in another 4-star commitment.

Expect Clemson to oversign by 2-3 players in this class, because a couple of these guys are on thin ice academically.
