I do wonder if a 6-6 type season could halt a lot of the momentum we have though. And I do think there's a real shot that we struggle this season.

If we can somehow get to 9-3 or better though, the rest of the nation should serve notice. The results will only get better as the recruiting improves.

And someone else (maybe you?) mentioned that Clemson's recruiting improved immediately under Dabo... and that is true to an extent. But it didn't immediately get to where it is now. It took a few years to get to this point. Dabo also had the familiarity advantage, since he was a promotion from within rather than a complete outsider to the program. He didn't have to re-establish relationships in new colors as most new HCs have to do.
