Can only get 14 to fit the 85 limit. Not too many srs and Jr's left

I find this absolutely unbelievable. They had 4 Juniors declare early for the NFL Draft. Would they have otherwise signed just 10 kids?

It shows they signed 21 in 2014... 26 in 2015... and 21 in 2016. That looks pretty normal. I've never seen a Top 25 program sign this few kids in a class.

If you go back and look at all the Top 25 classes signed since 2010, there have been a total of 175 Top 25 classes and only 14 of those consisted of fewer than 20 kids.

Six of those consisted of 19 signees
Four of those consisted of 18 signees
Two of those consisted of 17 signees

Only two consisted of fewer than 17: 2015 Texas (with 15 kids) and the 2013 USC class (with 12 kids) that faced serious scholarship losses.

This class of 14 kids for Clemson is the fewest kids to be signed into a Top 25 class since at least 2010, not counting teams on probation. I just find this unreal considering Clemson had 4 juniors declare for the Draft.

Dabo is going to have to get better at managing his roster if he ever wants to coach at Bama.
