Huge Weekend for Clemson

Tommy Bowden and the Clemson Tigers have a huge list of uncommitted prospects visiting campus this weekend. With Miami and Florida St basically dominating the ACC in the world of recruiting, Clemson and Va. Tech are left to battle for third.

The Hokies landed big time running back prospect Ryan Williams over the weekend bumping them into that third place slot in the ACC. If Clemson can make some hay over the weekend they would not only jump Va. Tech in the ACC but might even get themselves into the top-10 nationally.

This list of prospects visiting Clemson this weekend is staggering. Yes, 25 committed kids will be there. That is not what is impressive. Its the chance to get officials from some of the top ranked uncommitted kids in the nation that is really eye catching.

The group of offensive lineman is particularly impressive:
Kenneth Page - Flora, SC
Ben Jones - Miami, FL
A.J. Harmon - Louisville, GA
Antoine McClain - Anniston, AL
R.J. Mattes - Concord, NC
Brandon Washington - Miami, FL

Harmon recently committed to UGA after being a Clemson pledge. The huge visit weekend does not end along the offensive line though.

Jerrell Harris, a missile of a linebacker from Gadsden, AL is one of the top linebackers in the south yet to pick a school. One of the south's top uncommitted running backs, Jamie Harper will also be paying Bowden a visit. Clemson is also bringing in a trio of defensive back prospects too.

To a class that already has arguably the nation's best defensive prospect in Bamberg's DaQuan Bowers, two or three commitments this weekend would probably put Clemson right in the race for the ACC crown. Quarterback prospect Kyle Parker played very well this weekend at the Under Armor AA game. Andre Ellington also showed some wiggle and burst in Orlando.

Ideally, Clemson would like to add at least one more o-lineman, one more RB and probably one more d-lineman. They currently sit at 19 commitments and will max out at 26.

If they were to add Harris, Harper and one offensive lineman, Clemson would find itself in the top-10 nationally. They would also be giving Miami and Florida St a run at the top class in the ACC.
