7 five stars and 17 total that are 4 stars or above on their 2 deep defense.
Yet you try to make your point by crowning one of the few 3 stars.
Use facts to prove your point not your bias.
Since 2016 Clemson has recruited 36 players that were 4 stars or better on defense alone. Yeah they depend on those three stars evaluation and development.
Another thing that needs to be looked at is recruiting.
Not saying Venables is a bad coach but is easier to have a good defenses with 5stars all over your roster.
With improved recruiting coaching and results will also look better.
