About this listen

 Opening and Sponsors (Early Segment) Warm welcome to Clemson and college football fans.Shoutout to sponsor FanDuel for betting odds on NBA playoffs, college baseball, and more. Hosts encourage placing small wagers to make games more exciting.Tease a "big show" focused on recruiting intel, upcoming official visit weekends, plus quick hits on baseball, softball, and basketball.Note: Shorter episode tonight, but they'll hit the comment section at the end for viewer questions. Co-Host Banter Jordan Bowman joins; both discuss feeling a bit lost with TV shows wrapping up (e.g., Invincible, The Pitt).Casual thanks to early commenters and loyal channel members (John Sarin, Zachariah, Air Mike, Tiggs, etc.).Hosts encourage viewers to drop questions in the comments early. Recruiting Intel (2027 Class Focus) Dead period is over; coaches are back on the road.Clemson sits at #22 in the 2027 class rankings with 7 commits so far.Two official visit weekends planned: Main one: May 29–31.Follow-up: June 12–14 (for stragglers). Negative news: 5-star CB Josh Dobson (in-state, from Hough HS/North Carolina, previously Catawba Ridge) released his top 5 and cut Clemson. He had an early offer and strong prior relationship, but Auburn's official visit signaled the shift. Hosts called it last week; tough in-state loss, especially since South Carolina made his final cut. Dobson would have been the "crown jewel" of the DB class.Positive updates (Clemson still in strong position or made final cuts): In-state interior OL Nate Carson: Made top 5; battle likely between in-state schools, could go to official visits.OT Elijah Hutchinson (North Cross, Virginia): Made top 4. Clemson pushing hard in the Virginia/DMV pipeline (also mentioned Carter Jones).4-star WR Lawrence Britt (Tennessee, #2 WR in state): Made top 6. Missouri seen as current leader, but Clemson has a shot to pair him with Trey Wembley. Still in play for Jermarion Simmons (Florida).New name: 3-star TE Carter Blackwell — Clemson has surged in his recruitment (Georgia and Ohio State also involved; Duke longest). Hosts believe Clemson is in the driver's seat; he's locked in for the May 29–31 official visit. Athletic fit for Kyle Richardson's tight end mold; strong chance for a commitment. Other TE targets trending away. Overall: Dynamic board with movement. Defensive backs still a priority (targets like Jaden Aparicio Bailey, Kejuan Telfair, Bryant Robinson). Emphasis on Northeast/Virginia offensive line prospects under Matt Luke. Hosts note the NIL/portal-era challenges but stress locking in the right guys. Baseball Update Season described as very disappointing with higher preseason expectations.Issues: Inconsistent hitting, defensive mistakes, pitching meltdowns at key moments. "Snake-bitten" feel—one hit/mistake/pitch away from turning things around, but they often do the worst possible thing.Recently let another winnable ACC series slip (at Virginia), similar to North Carolina. Only consistent thing: falling short.Critique of Eric Bakich (year 4): Possibly his worst coaching job; questions on talent acquisition, lineup management, player development, and favoritism toward "his guys." Examples of transfers/former players (Billy Amick, Nathan Hall, Tristan Bissetta) thriving elsewhere (especially SEC) after limited roles at Clemson.Stats mentioned: 26-16 overall, 6-12 in ACC (lost 4 of 5 recent ACC series; only beat Stanford convincingly). Metrics like them slightly better than record, but tough non-con schedule.Upcoming: Louisville series (winnable; need an ACC win badly). Hosts doubt a deep NCAA Tournament run; season feels like "a wash." Tough offseason conversations ahead on roster management, development, and possible staff changes—even if they sneak into the tournament. Not the standard expected under Bakich (prior years had strong runs, national seeds, regional hosting). Softball Update Turning a corner after dropping a series to Virginia Tech: Rattled off two straight ACC series wins, including a sweep of Virginia (allowed just 6 runs; run-rule in game 1).Hitting more consistent; Sierra Maness is a workhorse/iron woman (heavy pitch count).Final regular-season ACC series: At Duke (tough road matchup; Duke is 1-2 in ACC standings, excellent at home ~14-4, on a winning streak, one of the best teams nationally).Outlook: Hope to steal at least one (ideally Friday night with Maness pitching, before Duke sees her multiple times). Avoid a sweep; a series win would be massive momentum into ACC Tournament and postseason. Clemson has struggled historically on the road at Duke. Basketball Portal/Offseason Updates Brad Brownell adding pieces amid turnover.Key transfers: Big man Dylan Faulkner (Sanford): Averaged ~17 PPG, 8 RPG; first-team all-conference. Strong interior scorer, rebounder, defender, low-post presence. Good replacement/complement for departing guys; pairs well with returning Carter Welling (from injury). Formidable frontcourt potential.Sharp-shooting ...
