Clemson record/signed recruiting class rank following the season (excluded 2008 for Dabo as he replaced during season):
2009- 9-5 / #19
2010- 6-7 / #8
2011- 10-4 / #14
2012- 11-2 / #14
2013- 11-2 / #13
2014- 10-3 / #4
2015- 14-1 /#6
2016- 14-1* / #22
Texas:
2017- 7-6 / #4
2018- 10-4 / #4
2019- 8-5 / #14
2020- 6-3 / #17
My Takeaways:
-I think schools like Texas and Clemson can almost always recruit classes in the 15-25 range, regardless of program momentum and current success. This gives them the ability to overachieve and seize momentum during any time, imo. The notion that we will fade to the middle of the pack is misguided, even with a bad coach.
-Herman winning % first 4 years: 67%
Dabo winning % first 4 years: 67%
-Would Texas fans ever give a coach time for a trajectory like Dabo had with Clemson- 8 years to get the MNC? Probably not. Fanbase sense of urgency creates a severe disadvantage at a school like Texas.
