When Cole Cinnamond and his father visited Clemson last weekend, he wasn’t expecting to leave campus having committed to the Tigers.
However, that is exactly how things played out, as the two-way star, out of Great Bridge High (VA), realized playing for Erik Bakich was an opportunity he could not pass up.
Being one of the Top 50 players in the 2027 recruiting class, Cinnamond was working with a list of finalists that included Florida, Virginia, Duke and Georgia Tech, along with Clemson. Each school got visits, with the Tigers getting the final one.
“The original plan going in was, ok, last visit, we are going to wait until after this one to make our decision,” Cinnamond told The Clemson Insider.
