I really like this latest commitment for Clemson, granted its for the 2011 season but it is a positive sign for future Clemson recruiting. Daniel is becoming a lockdown pipeline for Clemson with consecutive commitments of triple J, Jarvis Jenkins, then this years commit DeAndre Hopkins and now Deshaun Williams. It doesnt hurt our chances to hold on to Hopkins although nothing indicates that the two are very close, but maintaining a steady flow of commitments from a productive school in your backyard is an important first step in building a fence around your recruiting territory.
Williams is son of Ronald Williams, a standout running back in 1990, so he has the athletic genes. He has been very productive as a sophmore and at 15 is still growing and getting stronger. I think he is a gem and a solid DL prospect, something we will really be in need of after next year so it fills an immediate need and takes some of the pressure off this year. Its good to get early commits that get the ball rolling for you like JK Jay did last year. Sounds like he isnt going to swayed to go anywhere else because of his connections to current DL beast Jenkins and his family. Its just a bonus that he is a good kid who will work hard in the weight room as well as studying the game. Hopefully we get get a couple more commits out of Dabo's Camp...
Go Tigers!!
