How has Clemson been getting so many top recruits in Football the last few years?

I would hope that they start playing like an elite team -- they've been recruiting like one for the last few years now.

clemson's head coach is known as a Great recruiter. Sweeney helped keep BAMA afloat through the sancations and with shula. he's learning to be a head coach on the job.

I'd say he is learning how to become a great "CEO/Manager." Making big hires in the coordinator departments after his first few years sticking with the wrong people in charge. The hires of Morris and now Venables show that he is learning to put people that can handle each side of the ball without him.

As far as the recruiting, you are right, he is one heck of a recruiter. Along with Jeff Scott (and Billy Naiper who went to Alabama and now at Colorado St) Clemson have been recruiting incredibly well since the Tommy Bowden / CJ Spiller days. Now that they are actually winning some ACC Division and Conference Championships, hopefully things get even brighter.

There is "Something in These Hills."

Like Tide said, Dabo is a great recruiter, and has a great staff. That said, I will say, if you have never been to Clemson, it truly is a fantastic place. I think once Dabo gets a player and his family up to Clemson, he can sell the program and let that little down with its lake and hills sell itself as well.

Ever been down there, place crawls with talent. Unlike almost any other school I visited.
