[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 429798, member: 2175"] Anybody wanting to recruit nationally, on a serious level -- not the outlier one or two because they grew up in California but one of the parents was a Tech grad -- then you will require a very serious brand recognition. Just being that really tough engineering school won't get it. I have followed Clemson the last 10 years or so, since Swinney was hired. He has had something like eight straight double digit win seasons and been in three NC playoffs, winning once. With all that, only in the last couple of years can it be said they can recruit nationally with a recognized brand. And most of the recruits initially could not tell you what Clemson offers academically: they know the orange paw, the football records. Now they reach out to California or Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, and throughout the SE. Took them, give or take, 9-10 years of on-field excellence and national TV exposure. Point being, if you want to recruit nationally, start working on it eight years ago. Doesn't come in pop-top cans. [/QUOTE]
