I disagree. We might have been on the same trajectory for about one to two years, they as other ACC teams have out recruited us. It's that simple. Clemson unlike programs like Mizzou will have staying power because of recruiting.

I see your point. Recruiting definitely has Clemson competing at levels we wish to obtain in Columbia. It is the big separator between our programs.

I was referencing how both programs did not have a conference championship or BCS win to hang their hat on while fighting negative perception from outside the program. Like you mentioned talent eventually got Clemson over that hump.
