OT: Clemson just signed their QB for the ‘21 class, a 3* who is #670 in the composite

Is their offense doomed?  Is Dabo a terrible recruiter?  How can they expect to compete for another national title now?

I imagine their boards are panicking and pounding on the floor right now.

Egads!

”Before Clemson, Chandler's other football offers included Troy, Mercer, Western Kentucky, Elon, Gardner-Webb, and Charlotte.”

This dude is never gonna see the field. They signed the #1 QB last year. Even if he did, all he has to be is a game manager. Sit behind a wall of 4-5 Star OL, hand the ball off to their 5 Star RB, and throw the ball to their 5 Star WR’s.
What an incredibly stupid argument OP. They have a class full of 5-4 Stars and can afford a 3 Star here and there.

I’m sure they aren’t panicking given that they’re consistently in the National Championship hunt. 
 

If Michigan was, no one would complain about recruiting.

When you produce the NFL talent Clemson does you can take a flier on a lower rated guy and get the benefit of the doubt.  8 guys in the top 100 on 247 for 2021, I think most people on this board would be thrilled to have half of that right now and I don't think many Clemson fans are bitching about the state of recruiting there currently.

yep, clemson has shown they can sign and develop highly regarded national prospects as well as less heralded guys, and mold into winning teams.  theyve won a ton of big games.  clemson knows who they are and how they want to play and swinney earned a decade of goodwill with his record to date.  im sure harbaugh is building to that point but hes got a ways to go.   

most fans dont care if its the consensus #1 LB or the skinny kid you scouted during senior yr as long as they develop and you win games.  winning is the answer

To be determined on where he will end up or if he will be their only QB recruit. But to be fair they signed DJ Uigalelei last year who is the #1 pro style QB and then another top notch QB in Taisun Phommachanh the year before that. I think they can take a year off.

Dabo and Clemson win championships with their 3*s.

Michigan wins the Paul Bunyan Trophy.

Give it a break.

This might be kind of Clemson's plan. They got Trevor Lawrence in 2018, and then they took 4-star Taisun Phommachanh in 2019. They took D.J. Uiagalelei in 2020, now Bubba Chandler in 2021.

Yup - you nailed it.  Clemson always does that, mixes top recruits with high-upside developmental types.

Of course, they pay for the top recruits, LOL... but if you are going to cheat, you better win big and become untouchable (don't cheat and be Ole Miss).  Clemson is officially too big to fail.
