In past years, Clemson’s coaches would have to wait until August camp to get a long look at their freshmen summer enrollees, but a rule change has Tiger head coach Dabo Swinney excited about getting an early look next month.
This summer, coaches will be afforded limited time to interact with players per new NCAA rules. For up to two hours per day -- and up to eight hours per week -- coaches can work with their players, including incoming freshmen, in varying capacities. The January approval of the new rules served as a bonus for coaches who've fought for the extra access in recent years.
