If you drive past campus, you've likely seen tower cranes, often piercing through the clouds depending on the day.
A new foundation is being established, with new structures being constructed across Clemson's campus.
In a way, Swinney's staff has been doing the same thing, towering over most of the country's competition as the Tigers' recruiting foundation rebuilds its pillars to a top 10 recruiting class.
Anywhere you look, Clemson rests comfortably within that specific range, and decision day approaches for several of Swinney's top targets.
Starting on Monday with First Academy's Danny Odem, and stretching into July with five-star prospects Tyler Atkinson and Bryce Perry-Wright, the heat will be on for the Tigers to seal the deal on some of these coveted prospects.
