Baston By The Numbers

2012-01-03T09:10:00.003-05:00

By blue_62

If you haven't already, I suggest TI members look at the "Tigers at the Beach" video of a few days ago which featured Kourtnei Brown in a prominent role. A fellow TI member suggested I watch it and see if I agreed with his assessment. Watching it not only has me agreeing with him, it also caused me to look closer to find more proof that something is wrong with the strength and conditioning program under Joey Batson.

The TI member I talked to basically described Kourtnei Brown as looking more like a basketball player(forward) than a fifth year defensive end. He was correct in his description. At the same time, I find his description an insult to Harold Jamison, who looked FAR more impressive physically.

This post is not an attack on Kourtnei Brown. He is a good player and I am glad he chose Clemson and appreciate his efforts. However, when I looked at the video, I couldn't help but notice he didn't look nearly close to where he could be considering his high school rating and the fact he has been on campus so long. Further, I noticed Tig Willard, in similar fashion, looked more like a SAFETY than a linebacker. These guys not being where they could be physically inspired me to look a little closer.

Kourtnei Brown made quite a splash when he signed. The very next year, Georgia signed basically his clone, Cornelius Washington, out of Burke County, GA. Living in the same town, I met Washington his Sr. year of high school. Having seen him since, he is MUCH more imposing than Brown. Despite being on campus a year less, Washington is 6-4/269 lbs. though he came in at 6-4/220. Brown, on the other hand, is listed at 6-5/250 after being signed at 6-5/230.

Washington put on 50 SOLID lbs at Georgia, while Brown only added 20 lbs. That is 20 lbs in FIVE years. Sorry, but that is pretty weak. Those are just two players, though. I began to wonder if this trend went beyond two individuals, and also followed a similar pattern among teams. The data I found was overwhelmingly a further indictment on the player development program at Clemson.

I decided to look at the depth charts of several teams and compare their current weights with what they weighed when they signed. I chose to analyze Clemson, of course, along with Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida State, South Carolina, Wake Forest, Alabama, and LSU. Figuring Alabama and LSU are the gold standards as programs, they represent the elite. South Carolina is the main rival while Florida State is the division rival. Georgia Tech represents to cross-division rival/thorn-in-the side, while Wake is the divisional over-achiever/thorn. Finally, I looked at Georgia because of their border-state/SEC position.

For the sake of clarity, among other reasons, I felt focusing on the defensive side of the ball made the most sense. Further, I limited my analysis to non-Juco players in either their Jr. or Sr. years. I compared the weights and categorized them into DL, LB, and DB groupings.

THE FINDINGS:

Of the 8 teams analyzed, Clemson finished LAST or tied for last in all three positional categories. Of the defensive line, they average weight gained was 17 lbs. The LBs averaged 14 lbs. gained, and the DBs averaged 9lbs. On the DL, only Wake was about the same, but they only have 1 player to analyze. Other than that, Clemson and LSU are tied for last at DB. Yet we all know the punch those guys bring and coverage skills are way better than their counterparts at Clemson.

Clemson
DL 17 lbs
LB 14 lbs
DB 9 lbs

Wake Forest
DL(only one JR/SR) 15 lbs.
LB 17 lbs
DB 20 lbs.

Florida State
DL 51 lbs.
LB 20 lbs.
DB 14 1bs.

Georgia Tech
DL 27 lbs.
LB 20 lbs.
DB 18 lbs.

Georgia
DL 38 lbs.
LB 20 lbs.
DB 23 lbs.

Alabama
DL 23 lbs
LB 25 lbs.
DB 11 lbs.

LSU
DL N/A (Note: no non-Juco Jr./Sr. start.)
LB 25 lbs.
DB 9 lbs.

South Carolina
DL 53 lbs.
LB 21 lbs.
DB 15 lbs.

South Carolina AVERAGED 53 lbs gained on their DL compared to the 17 lbs. gained at Clemson. Devin Taylor went from 6-6 225 to 6-7 260. Melvin Ingram went from 6-2 224 to 6-2 276. Travian Robinson went from 6-4 230 to 6-4 303. At the same time, we see guys like Renny Moore go from 6-5 260 to 6-4 270. Folks, Batson put 10 lbs on a DT in five years. That is criminal.

Want to hear more? Dequan Bowers came in listed as 6-4 267. His Jr. numbers were 6-4 275. Compare his gains to, say, Cliff Matthews at South Carolina. It ain't even close. Genetic freak. Two years. Eight pounds. Enough said.

Keep making excuses for him. The guys that need to gain don't, and the guys that need to lose weight keep it on or add more. Every time I look to find evidence Batson needs to go, its there. EVERY TIME. Numbers don't lie; Joey Batson is not getting the most out of his players. They deserve more. The evidence is overwhelming.

Notes:

Garrett Boulware was drafted in the 42nd Round by San Deigo. Boulware was ranked as the 5th best prospect in the state of South Carolina by John Manual of Baseball America. Boulware is consider more of a polished defensive prospect at this time, but still has the making of a catcher who can also contribute with the bat.

Daniel Gossett was drafted in the 16th Round by the Boston Red Sox. Gossett was ranked as the 2nd best prospect in state of South Carolina by John Manual of Baseball American. Gossett was dominate for much of the season going 9-0 with a .44 ERA with Byrnes until getting roughed up in the 4A State Championship Game.

Trevor Kieboom is the younger brother of current Tiger, Spencer Kieboom. Trevor is already enrolled and on campus. Kieboom can play infield as well as pitch, but right now the plan is to have Trevor work from the mound.

Daniel Norris was drafted in 2nd Round by the Toronto Blue Jays. Norris was projected as a Top 20-25 pick in the draft, but slid into the second rounds due to concerns on his signability and bonus demands. Norris was reported asking for close to $4 Million, so their is a decent chance that Norris could end up at Clemson come Fall.

Jackson Whitley was drafted in the 13th Round by the Los Angeles Angels. Whitley was considered a Top 10 prospect in the state of South Carolina by Baseball America. UPDATE: Whitley signed with the Angles on June 13th, 2011.

Clemson Swimming Update - Donation To Save Program Rebuffed

2011-06-13T13:25:00.000-04:00

Here is an update to a story (below) that was written on October 21st about the Clemson Swimming program and its battle to remain as a varsity sport at Clemson.

A large donor offered a large sum of money in the form of an endowment to the university in order to fund the construction of a Olympic size swimming pool at Clemson. The donation was large enough to both complete the construction of the pool and fund the program for years, but after considering the generous offer President Barker decided that they couldn't reverse their decision to terminate the program.

Meanwhile the pool in Fike has been closed since 2010 with cracks and leaks in the structure.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On April 30th 2010, the Clemson Athletic Director, Terry Don Phillips, announced via a press release that the Clemson’s Men’s and Women’s Swimming teams were being phased out after the 2011-2012 academic year. According to Phillips, the reason for eliminating the program was that “Having an Olympic size pool has become most important in swimming. We have made a decision not to build a 50-meter pool, and thus feel our program is in a state where it will be very difficult to compete at the highest level in the ACC and nationally.”

Men’s and Women’s Swimming has a long history at Clemson. The program was established in 1918 and reached its pinnacle in the 1980s. During this era, the program captured 4 ACC Championships while boosting multiple individual ACC Champions and 2 Olympians. The program hasn’t been as successful in recent years, failing to capture an ACC Championship since 1997; however, the Tigers have been showing improvement under Head Coach Chris Ip, and have always been outstanding representatives for Clemson and the surrounding community. Clemson Swimmers have dominated the ACC Academic Honor Roll and lead all Clemson sports with 56.5% of the team making the list. Honorees from the swimming program include twelve 4.0 scholar athletes and five Academic All ACC students. In addition to excellence in the classroom, the swimming program leads all Clemson sports in community service.

Even if you don’t have strong feelings about the decision to eliminate the swimming program, the process by which the decision was researched and handled by Clemson’s Athletic Department should be infuriating and is just another symptom of the poor leadership from the top of the university down. I recently had an opportunity to exchange emails with swimming supporters behind the website Save Clemson Swimming (Save Clemson Swimming). Through these conversations, I was able to gather more information on how the decision was reached and was shocked by the lack of time and research that was put into a decision of such magnitude.

Phillips was asked to do an economic feasibility study on all Clemson sports programs by taking into account coaching, recruiting, and facilities. Phillips alludes to this in the press release announcing the decision. It was determined from that initial study that swimming and diving presented the biggest long-term financial challenge to make the team more competitive, due to a lack of a 50-meter swimming pool. The Athletic Department then briefly researched the cost to build the 50-meter swimming pool by looking into the costs to build similar pools at Florida State and UCLA. The costs on the surface were deemed too high, so the study was stopped without digging deeper into the numbers, and the decision to eliminate the program was made by the AD. No other facilities were bench marked. No consultants, pool contractors, or builders were asked to give their opinion on the cost to build a pool in South Carolina as opposed to Florida or California. No other options, such as building the facility piecemeal, were considered by the AD even though the majority of Clemson’s athletic facilities were built in this fashion.

The decision was made hastily without the necessary research and then announced with almost no warning catching the program off-guard. In fact, on April 23 2010, a mere 7 days prior to the announcement, North Augusta High School swimmer Hannah Collins signed a partial scholarship to swim at Clemson (Clemson Signs Collins). The coaches were literally out recruiting and signing athletes to swim at Clemson for the next 4 or 5 years while the AD was knee deep in plans to eliminate the program. The AD didn't even have the decency to tell the entire team in private prior to making the official announcement to the media. This lack of communication between the Athletic Department and Coach Ip and those involved with the swimming program is a sad turn of events that should never happen at a major university.

After the announcement was made on April 30th, the program and its supporters were told that money was not the motivating factor in eliminating the program. It was repeated by the AD that the primary reason for eliminating the program was its inability to be competitive in the long-term without a 50-meter pool. This reasoning seems odd considering that Clemson was coming off back-to-back Top 25 recruiting classes. It also begs the question that if the program isn’t a burden financially, then why does it need to be eliminated in the first place? Why can’t the program at least continue to operate under the status-quo into the immediate future while other options are explored? If all financial avenues were researched thoroughly, then perhaps in 5 or 10 years Clemson might be in a position to build an aquatic facility.

The lack of proper research and the subsequent handling of the decision to eliminate the Men’s and Women’s Swimming program is just another example of the void of competence in the Clemson Athletic Department. Taking into account the egregious lack of leadership and communication skills demonstrated by this administration throughout the process, it should not be shocking to anyone that Clemson has won a grand total of 9 ACC Championships under the Terry Don Phillips regime.

2011 MLB Draft - State Breakdown

2011-06-08T13:22:00.000-04:00

California lead all states with 110 out of the first 500 players taken in the 2011 MLB Draft hailing from the Golden State. Texas and Florida were tied for second with 52 players each followed by Georgia with 24 and North Carolina with 22.

Oklahoma had the highest number of players taken per capita with 3.20 players for every million in population. Oklahoma had 12 players selected in the Top 500 and a population of 3.75 Million. This is for where the player is originally from not for where the prospect went to college. California was second with 2.95 players taken for every one million in population followed by Rhode Island with 2.86. It is important to note that state with small populations like Rhode Island are likely to fluctuate tremendously from year to year.

Interesting for the South Carolina people that read the blog. South Carolina only had two players selected in the first 10 rounds this year in Taylor Guerrieri and Michael Roth, but had 7 players selected late in the Top 500 to bolster their total to seven out of the Top 500.

Clemson Tigers Drafted In The 2011 MLB Draft

2011-06-08T08:41:00.003-04:00

Brad Miller was among six Tigers selected in yesterday's portion of the MLB Draft. Miller who was ACC Player of the Year and 1st Team All-American was selected with the second pick (#62) overall by the Seattle Mariners. Will Lamb was selected shortly after Miller by the Texas Rangers with the #83 pick overall. Lamb was drafted as a high-upside LHP after spending the majority of his career hitting for the Tigers. John Hinson was selected in the 13th Round by the Houston Astros as a second baseman. Three time 1st or 2nd Team All-ACC performer, Jeff Schaus was selected in the 16th Round by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cleveland Indians took a flyer on the often injuried, Kevin Brady, in the 17th Round.

The draft concludes today starting at 12 PM EST.

Pick	Name	Position	Team
#62	Brad Miller	SS	Seattle Mariners
#83	Will Lamb	LHP	Texas Rangers
#400	John Hinson	2B	Houston Astros
#494	Jeff Schaus	LF	LA Dodgers
#518	Kevin Brady	RHP	Cleveland Indians
#786	Joseph Moorefield	LHP	Kansas City Royals

Daniel Norris was among three Clemson recruits that were drafted yesterday as well. Norris who was ranked as one of the top prep-pitchers in the draft was selected in the 2nd Round by the Toronto Blue Jays. Norris slipped in the draft amid concerns of his signability as it is widely believed that Norris is looking for close to $4 Million in order to forgo his college eligibility. Jackson Whitley a 1B out of North Augusta High (SC) was selected in the 13th Round by the Los Angeles Angels. Daniel Gossett a LHP out Byrnes High (SC) of was selected in the 16th Round by the Boston Red Soxs to round out the Tiger's recruits who were selected yesterday. Joseph Moorefield was selected in the 26th Round by the Kansas City Royals.

Pick	Name	Position	Team
#74	Daniel Norris	LHP	Toronto Blue Jays
#405	Jackson Whitley	1B	LA Angels
#502	Daniel Gossett	LHP	Boston Red Soxs

Will Lamb selected #83 overall by the Texas Rangers.

2011-06-07T12:44:00.000-04:00

Clemson Tiger LHP/OF was taken with the 83rd overall pick by the Texas Rangers. Lamb primarily played OF for the Tigers, but was selected as a LHP by the Rangers. Most scouts think Lamb has a bigger upside on the hill as opposed to at the plate although Lamb seems to prefer hitting to pitching.

Brad Miller selected #62 overall by Seattle Mariners

2011-06-07T12:20:00.000-04:00

Clemson Tiger shortstop was taken with the 62nd overall pick by the Seattle Mariners.

5 Former Clemson Tigers Qualify For The US Open at Congressional

2011-06-07T09:08:00.000-04:00

Former Clemson golfers, Elliot Gealy, David May and Sam Saunders qualified for the US Open on Monday. The US Open will be contested from June 16th-19th at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.

Elliot Gealy and David May qualified out of the Rockville, Maryland sectional. Gealy fired rounds of 70-65 to finish in 3rd place and May shot 68-68 to qualify on the number. Also competing in that region, but failing to qualify were former Tigers, Ben Martin and Phillip Mollica.

Sam Saunders qualified with rounds of 69-70 and then survived a playoff to be one of three golfers to qualify out of the Vero Beach sectional.

In the Columbus, OH sectional, former Tigers, Kyle Stanley and DJ Trahan failed to qualify. Stanley narrowly missed qualify after being eliminated first in a 6 man playoff for the final three spots.

Gealy, May and Saunders will be joined at Congressional by Johnathan Byrd and Lucas Glover who both qualifed automatically for the event giving Clemson a total of 5 former Tigers in the tournament. This will be the most former Tigers to play in a single US Open. The previous high was four in the 2009 US Open.

Atlanta Braves Lead NL in Extra Innings in 2011

2011-05-26T11:52:00.000-04:00

A quick tangent away from Clemson to the Atlanta Braves after noticing that the Braves seemed to have played an unusually large number of extra inning games this year. Stats updated through 5/25/2011.

The Braves lead the National League with 10 extra inning games played so far this year followed by the Padres who have played 9.

The Braves again lead the National League in "Extra Innings Played" with 20 tied with the Phillies after the Phillies played 10 extra frames last night. Just an interesting factoid that could play a role down the stretch with the Braves bullpen having to eat more innings than their opponents.

Trevor Booker Out For The Season

2011-03-31T09:06:00.000-04:00

From Clemson SID

Former Clemson basketball star Trevor Booker will miss the rest of his rookie season due to a foot injury, the Washington Wizards announced late Wednesday. Booker appeared in 65 games, with 14 starts, for the Wizards during the 2010-11 season. His 65 games were the most played by a former Clemson player in an NBA season since Greg Buckner appeared in 76 contests for the Dallas Mavericks in 2006-07. Booker averaged 5.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor. He is also second on the Wizards roster with 42 blocked shots.

Booker was a first-team All-ACC selection at Clemson as a senior in 2010. He was then the first senior selected in the first round of the NBA Draft with the No. 23 pick. He was originally drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves, but was quickly traded to the Wizards. Booker also earned his undergraduate degree from Clemson in August of 2010.

He ranks fourth in Clemson history with 1,725 points and third with 1,060 rebounds. He finished his career with 249 blocked shots as well, the fourth-best total in school history. Booker was a two-time All-ACC Defensive Team selection and never missed a start in 134 games with the Tigers from 2006-10.

NC State Wolfpack - All-Time Basketball Team

2011-03-10T15:02:00.001-05:00

Over the next two weeks, I will release my All-Time team for each of the 12 Atlantic Coast Conference.

Each team will consist of 5 starters (at least 2 guards and 2 forwards) and 4 reserves to make up a 9 man rotation. The team can only include players who played their entire career in the last 50 years (sorry Ronnie Shavlik) and only their accomplishments in college taken into consideration.

North Carolina State

Starting Five

Chris Corchiani – Point Guard – 1987 – 1991
Corchiani finished his career as the NCAA career leader in assists with 1,038. As a SR, Corchiani averaged 16.3 points, 9.6 assists and 2.9 steals and was named 2nd Team All-ACC as well as being named on various All-American teams. Although much more of a passer, Corchiani was a capable shooter who knocking down 40% of his attempts from long range and formed the "Fire & Ice" tandem with Rodney Monroe that lead the Pack to the 1989 Regular Season ACC Championship. Corchiani finished his career 1st in State history in assists and steals.

Rodney Monroe – Shooting Guard – 1987-1991
Monroe is one of the purest shooters in the history of the ACC. Monroe was 1st Team All-ACC performer as a SO and SR and a 2nd Team All-ACC performer as a JR. Monroe was named ACC Player of the Year in 1991 after averaging 27.0 pointer per game on 44% shooting from downtown, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Monroe scored a career high 48 points including 31 in the second half in a win over GT in 1991. Monroe is the leading scoring in NCSU history with 2,551 points.

David Thompson – Forward/Guard – 1972-1975
Thompson was a consensus 1st Team All-American and ACC Player of the Year in each of his 3 season with the Wolfpack. Thompson was National Player of the Year in 1974 and 1975. Thompson averaged 26.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per game over the course of his career. Outside of the statistics and honors, Thompson revolutionized the game as best illustrated by Len Elmore:

“David was the queen on the chessboard. He could go everywhere, inside, outside, rebounding. His impact was felt all over the floor. He changed the game. Everyone from then on wanted to be a Skywalker.''

Thompson was named All-Tournament in every Tournament of his career led the Pack to a 79-6 record including the 1974 National Championship.

Kenny Carr – Forward – 1975-1977
Carr was 1st Team All-ACC in 1976 and 1977 along with being named to various All-American lists in both seasons. As a SO, Carr averaged 26.6 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. As a JR, Carr averaged 21.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. The 6’8” Carr was a physical power forward who could step out and shoot the ball from the perimeter, put the ball on the floor as well as doing the dirty work in the paint a combination that was almost unheard of in that time period. Carr was a member of the 1976 Olympic Basketball team that won Gold in Montreal under Dean Smith. Carr left NCSU after his JR season for the NBA. The most underrated player in State history in my opinion.

Tommy Burleson – Center – 1971-1975
Although overshadowed by Thompson during his career at State, Burleson was a dominate center who in my opinion is the second greatest player in NC State history. Burleson was named All-ACC in each of his 3 years on varsity taking home 1st Team honors as a SO and JR and 2nd Team honors as a SR. Burleson was a consensus 2nd Team All-American in 1973 along with being named to various All-American lists in 1974. The 7’4” Burleson was a two-time winner of the Everett Case Award as the ACC Tournament MVP the second award coming on the heels of a 38 points and 13 rebound effort in the best ACC Game ever played against Maryland in 1974. Burleson averaged 19 points and 12.7 rebounds for his career and lead the ACC in rebounding in 1972 and 1973.

Bench

Julius Hodge – Guard/Forward – 2002-2005
Hodge lead NC State to the NCAA Tournament in each of his four years in the program including a run to the Sweet Sixteen in 2005. As a JR, Hodge was a consensus 3nd Team All-American and ACC Player of the Year after averaging 18.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists. Hodge was named 1st Team All-ACC in 2003 and 2004 and 2nd Team All-ACC in 2005. Hodge finished his career 3rd in scoring with 2,040 points.

Sydney Lowe – Point Guard – 1979-1983
Lowe was 1st Team All-ACC as a SR and 2nd Team All-ACC as a SO. Lowe lead NC State to the improbable 1983 National Championship where he was named to the All-Tournament Team. Lowe was never known for his scoring ability, but was a leader with terrific court vision and a excellent defender. Lowe averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.4 steals as a SR.

Tom Gugliotta – Forward – 1987-1992
Gugliotta improved dramatically over the course of his career going from a seldom used FR to a 1st Team All-CC and All-American peformer as a SR. As a SR, Gugs averaged 22.5 points while knocking down 40% of his attempts from behind the arc, 9.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game. The 6’10” Gugliotta was outstanding in all facets of the game finishing in the Top 15 is almost every statistical category in NC State history.

Hawkeye Whitney – Forward – 1977-1980
Whitney had a consistently successful career with State for four seasons. Whitney burst on the scene becoming the only State player to win ACC Rookie of the Year in 1977 after averaging 14.6 points and 5.8 rebounds. Whitney was named 1st Team All-ACC in both 1979 and 1980 as well as being named to various All-American lists as a SR. Whitney averaged 16.8 points on 50% shooting, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals for his career. You could make a strong case for Todd Fuller, Lorenzo Charles and Thurl Bailey here as well.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons - All-Time Basketball Team

2011-03-09T15:39:00.001-05:00

Over the next two weeks, I will release my All-Time team for each of the 12 Atlantic Coast Conference.

Wake Forest

Starting Five

Bench

Chris Paul – Point Guard – 2003-2004
Paul only played two seasons, but made a lasting mark on the Deacon program. Paul was a pass first point guard who averaged 6.3 assists per game, but also a deadly shooter if given space knocking down 46.9% of his 3-point attempts.

James also received 3rd Team All-American and 1st Team All-Big East 1st Team honors in 1999 to go along with 1st Team All-Big East honors in 1998 and 2nd Team All-Big East honors in 1997. James finished his career in 6th place in Miami history in scoring with 1,702 points, 5th in rebounding with 856 rebounds and 2nd place in blocks with 224.

Bench

Darius Rice - Small Forward - 2000-2004
Rice finished his career as Miami's 4th leading scorer with 1,865 scored garnering 2nd Team All Big East honors as both a JR and a SR and 3rd Team All Big East honors as a SO. Despite being 6'10", Rice preferred to play on the perimeter as a wing player and shot from behind the arc. Rice’s most prolific season came as a JR when he averaged 18.7 points per game and knocked down 36.4% of his three point attempts.

John Salmons - Guard/Forward – 1998-2002
Salmons wasn’t a prolific scorer, but the 6’7” Salmons’ versatility and strong all-around game earn him the edge over Johnny Hemsley. Salmons was 2nd Team All Big East as a SR and 3rd Team All Big East as a JR. Salmons did score 1,287 career points, which is just inside the Top 20, but Salmons was 3rd All-Time in both assists with 429 and steals with 192 and known as an excellent defender. Salmons was able to put up solid numbers across the board despite playing every position on the court other than center.

Guillermo Diaz - Guard - 2003-2006
The team needs another guard and Diaz fits the bill being named 2nd Team All-ACC as a SO and JR and Big East All Rookie team as a FR. Despite declaring for the NBA Draft following his junior season, Daiz scored 1,477 points, had 238 assists and 123 steals all inside the Top 15 in Hurricanes history.

Mike McCoy - Forward – 1960-1963
This team possesses a proliferation of wing players, but lacks a true post presence coming off the bench. The seven foot, Mike McCoy fills the void. McCoy was dominate in the low block as a JR and SR averaging 19.1 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. McCoy’s 1,231 career points and 857 career rebounds is good enough for 19th and 4th all-time respectively. McCoy was inducted into the Miami Hall Of Fame in 2007.

Clemson and South Carolina Recruiting - Position By Position Breakdown

2011-02-16T14:35:00.001-05:00

Recruiting Breakdown - Part I

Quarterback Recruiting

Tony McNeal - Clemson (5.7 - #15 Pro-Sytle QB, #12 in SC)
Tanner McEvoy - South Carolina (5.7 - #25 ATH, #11 in NJ)
Cole Stoudt - Clemson (5.6 - #21 Pro-Stlye QB, #43 in OH)
Martay Maddox - South Carolina - (#5.6 - 27 Dual-Threat QB, #68 in GA)

This is pretty much a push. Both schools landed a 5.7 and a 5.6 QB prospect. You really can't differentiated much here between the two classes.

Runningback Recruiting

Mike Bellamy - Clemson (6.1 - #5 RB, #25 Overall)
Shon Carson - South Carolina (5.7, #28 RB, #10 in SC)
Brandon Wilds - South Carolina (5.5 - NR RB, #30 in SC)
Colton Walls - Clemson (5.4)

Clemson has the edge here landing a 5-Star prospect at the position in Mike Bellamy versus a 3-Star prospect in Shon Carson. Obviously, RB wasn't a huge need for South Carolina with Marcus Lattimore being a Sophomore in 2011.

Wide Receiver Recruiting

Sammy Watkins - Clemson (6.1 - #3 WR, #15 Overall)
Charone Peake - Clemson (5.9 - #11 WR, #83 Overall)
Matavias Bryant - Clemson (5.9 - #1 Prep School)
Damierre Byrd - South Carolina (5.8 - #19 WR, #186 Overall)
Shamir Jeffrey - South Carolina (5.7 - #53 WR, #8 in SC)
K.J Brent - South Carolina (5.7 - #54 WR, #17 in NC)
Adam Humphries - Clemson (5.4)

Clemson landed the #1 WR class in the nation. WR was a huge need for the Tigers, so landed 3 huge prospects in Watkins, Peake and Byrant was huge. South Carolina has a solid WR haul as well lead by Byrd.

Tight End Recruiting

Eric MaClain - Clemson (5.9 - #6 TE, #59 Overall)
Jerrell Adams - South Carolina (5.7 - #17 TE, #11 in SC)
Drew Owens - South Carolina (5.7 - #19 TE, #14 in SC)
Rory Anderson - South Carolina (5.6 - #26 TE, #43 in GA)
Stanton Seckinger - Clemson (5.5)

I would give the slight edge to Clemson here because the Tigers landed by far the highest ranked prospect of the bunch in MacLain. However, Jerrell Adams is underrated and would make this a push if he were to qualify although Adams in likely headed to Prep School.

Offensive Line Recruiting

Brandon Shell - South Carolina (5.9 - #66 Overall)
Spencer Region - Clemson (5.7 - #23 OG, #16 in AL)
Shaq Anthony - Clemson (5.7 - #27 OT, #9 in SC)
Mike Matulis - South Carolina (5.7 - #33 OT, #65 in FL)
Isiah Battle - Clemson (5.7 - #36 in OT, #11 in VA)
Joe Gore - Clemson (5.7 - #26 SDE, #16 in NC)
Kyle Harris - South Carolina (5.6 - # 37 OG, #52 in GA)
Quincy McKinney - South Carolina (5.6 - #61 OT, #62 in GA)
Kaleb Broome - South Carolina (5.6 - JUCO)
Ryan Norton - Clemson (5.6 - #11 OC, #19 in SC)
Will Sport - South Carolina (5.5)

South Carolina signed 6 OL prospects to 5 for Clemson. I would give the slight edge to South Carolina because Brandon Shell is the only prospect that really separated himself from the pack. The other 10 prospects are all pretty similar type prospects and none really stand out from the others outside of Shell. Also helping SC is Battle is a long-shot to qualify and is likely headed to Prep School.

Defensive Line Recruiting

Jadeveon Clowney - South Carolina (6.1 - #1 SDE, #1 Overall)
Corey Crawford - Clemson (5.9 - #2 Prep School)
Kelcy Quarles - South Carolina (5.9 - #3 Prep School)
Phillip Dukes - South Carolina (5.8 - #9 DT, #101 Overall)
Gerald Dixon - South Carolina (5.7 - #25 WDE, #14 in SC)
Dean Green - South Carolina (5.6 - #50 DT, NR in FL)
DeShaun Williams - Clemosn (5.6 - NR DT, #18 in SC)
Roderick Byers - Clemson (5.6 - #49 SDE, #23 in SC)
Grady Jarrett - Clemson (5.5)
Gerald Dixon Jr - South Carolina (5.5)
Jerome Maybank - Clemson (5.3)

South Carolina has a better DL class by a large margin here. USC signed the best prospect and well as well as 4 out of the Top 5. The signed the best prospects at both DE and DT as well.

Linebacker Recruiting

Tony Steward - Clemson (6.1 - #1 OLB, #13 Overall)
Stephone Anthony - Clemson (6.1 -#3 OLB, #24 Overall)
LaTeek Townsend - Clemson (5.8 - #10 OLB, #172 Overall)
Marquis Roberts - South Carolina (5.7, #22 OLB, #30 in GA)
Mason Harris - South Carolina (5.6 - #47 OLB, #48 in GA)
Edward Muldrow - South Carolina (5.6 - #49 OLB, #50 in GA)
Cedric Cooper -South Carolina (5.6 - #61 OLB, #65 in GA)
BJ Goodson - Clemson (5.6 - NR OLB, #20 in SC)
Angelo Watley - South Carolina (5.6 - NR OLB, #80 in GA)

Clemson scored a big win here at a position of need landing the #1 LB Recruiting Class in the nation according to Rivals.com. South Carolina landed a bunch of quality players, but failed to land a marquee recruit at the position.

Defensive Back Recruiting

Sheldon Royster - South Carolina (5.8- #12 S, #189 Overall)
Cortez Davis - Clemson (5.8 - #14 S, #215 Overall)
Brinson Williams - South Carolina (5.8 - #6 Prep School)
Kendetrix Marcus - South Carolina (5.7 - #30 S, #28 in GA)
Ronnie Martin - South Carolina (5.7 - #46 CB, #15 in SC)
Ahmad Christian - South Carolina (5.7 - #39 ATH, #84 in FL)
Robert Smith - Clemson (5.6 - NR ATH, #22 in SC)

South Carolina had a better haul here, but DB wasn't a need for Clemson in 2010. The Tigers only signed 2 DB to 5 for South Carolina. Both signed one elite prospect, but South Carolina added lot of quality players as well.

Clemson and South Carolina Recruiting Class Comparison

2011-02-15T14:02:00.010-05:00

Position By Position Breakdown

Both Clemson and South Carolina signed strong recruiting classes over in 2011. Here is some analysis that I put together using Rivals.com data where 6.1 is a 5-Star, 6.0-5.8 is a 4-Star, 5.7-5.5 is a 3-Star and 5.4 and below is a 2-Star. I am not going to draw a ton of conclusions and just let the reader interpreted the data.

Here are the combined Top 20 prospects between Clemson and South Carolina's classes.

1. Jadeveon Clowney - South Carolina (6.1 - #1 Overall)
2. Tony Steward - Clemson (6.1 - #13 Overall)
3. Sammy Watkins - Clemson (6.1 - #15 Overall)
4. Stephone Anthony - Clemson (6.1 - #24 Overall)
5. Mike Bellamy - Clemson (6.1 - #25 Overall)
6. Eric MacClain - Clemson (5.9 - #59 Overall )
7. Brandon Shell - South Carolina (5.9 - #66 Overall)
8. Charone Peake - Clemson (5.9 - #83 Overall)
9. Matavias Bryant - Clemson (5.9 - #1 Prep School)
10. Corey Crawford - Clemson (5.9 - #2 Prep School)
11. Kelcy Quarles - South Carolina (5.9 - #3 Prep School)
12. Phillip Dukes - South Carolina (5.8 - #101 Overall)
13. LaTeek Townsend - Clemson (5.8 - #172 Overall)
14. Damierre Byrd - South Carolina (5.8 - #186 Overall)
15. Sheldon Royster - South Carolina (5.8 - #189 Overall)
16. Cortez Davis - Clemson (5.8 - #215 Overall)
17. Brinson Williams - South Carolina (5.8 - #6 Prep School)
18. Shamir Jeffrey - South Carolina (5.7 - #53 WR, #8 in SC)
19. Shaq Anthony - Clemson (5.7 - #27 OT, #9 in SC)
20. Kendetrix Marcus - South Carolina - (#30 S, #28 in GA)

The last spot was really close between Kendetrix Marcus, Mike Matulis (USC) and Spencer Region (CU), but I went with Martin. You could really make a legit case for a handful of prospects here.

- Clemson has 8 out of Top 10 while South Carolina has 2 out of the Top 10.

- Clemson has 11 out of Top 20 while South Carolina has 9 out of the Top 20.

Clemson clearly has an stronger top portion of the class when compared to South Carolina, but South Carolina is a little stronger in the middle portion of the class when compared to Clemson.

Here are the bottom 10 prospects combined between Clemson and South Carolina.

1. Jerome Maybank - Clemson (5.3)
2. Colton Walls - Clemson (5.4)
3. Adam Humphries - Clemson (5.4)
4. Aaron Lapkik - Clemson (5.4)
5. Morgan Roberts - Clemson (5.5)
6. Gerald Dixon Jr - South Carolina (5.5)
7. Stanton Seckinger - Clemson (5.5)
8. Will Sport - South Carolina (5.5)
9. Grady Jarrett - Clemson (5.5)
10. Brandon Wilds - South Carolina (5.5 - NR RB, #30 in SC)

- Clemson has 5 out of the Bottom 5.
- Clemson has 7 out of the Bottom 10 while South Carolina has 3 of the Bottom 10.

Clemson clearly has a weaker bottom to their class than South Carolina.

Here is a graph that shows the distribution of stars between Clemson and South Carolina. You can see from the graph that Clemson is stronger at the top of the class and weaker at the bottom and South Carolina is a little stronger in the middle of the class.

I will break down the position rankings tomorrow.
