We know that Dabo Swinney is disenchanted with recruiting these days, especially with the NIL aspects, so maybe his comments on this recent run of decommitments at Clemson shouldn't be too surprising.
This recent surge of bad news started with 4-star safety Blake Stewart, who tried to take visits to Miami and Vanderbilt under the radar. That broke Swinney's biggest recruiting rule — commitments can not take visits to other problems. Then blue-chip defensive lineman Keshawn Stancil, a player that was likely to see very early playing time at the rock, decided to flip his pledge to Miami.
