He just jumped to #1? What did he do to deserve the promotion?

He hasn't committed. They have to keep the clicks coming. So he gets the bump. He very well might be deserving but they almost always keep an uncommitted player #1.

TL was committed and was #1 99% of the cycle. He's not the #1 on any site, but his overall grade combined by the 3 sites gives him the highest total grade...

TL is obviously the better prospect, but Fields held a solid arguement for #1. Averaging almost 16 yards per pass 41 passing touchdowns 28 rushing touchdowns and 6300 total yards in a tough Georgia football league where he was the only good player on his team is no easy feat. (Those stats are just from a season and a half that he played) not to mention he absolutely destroyed the opening having the best performance ever seen there. He also carried the same grade as TL and XT to be noted from ESPN (like Burch is only #1 on composite), every other site and composite had TL #1 and only 1 carried Fields as the number 1 who cares anyways.

Besides being utterly dominant every time he touches a football field whether it be a camp or a game? 6-6 250 with legit speed pretty much unmatched at the high school level on DL and a build that would look lean at 275 so the projection would safe to land him at #1, but besides that nothing I guess.

it sells more subscriptions. They do this every year it seems. I'd assume most of these guys, once they commit, probably don't do as much of these camps and recruiting challenges. so the like to penalize them for not participating. But Burch is worthy from what i've seen to be in the conversation as a #1.

I hope Jordan picks Clemson. .. just like I did ... Jordan??

Like Jordan, I grew up in Columbia and was a fan of the local university sporting teams. But when it came to choosing a college, I looked around and was shocked to learn how great a place Clemson was. It was and is a truly stellar college town. Early in my freshman year, I thought I could pull for both teams. But it didn't take long for the rivalry to kick in, and I was ALL IN --- long before that phrase was ever uttered. I've never looked back. I'm a proud Clemson grad. Those were some of the best years of my life. I love going back each year to see the changes on campus, and to reminisce. Best college campus in the state ... by far.
GO TIGERS!!!! Come to Clemson, Jordan. You will absolutely love your time on the Clemson campus.
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!

Bresee is better

Nothing against Burch, but Bresee is just the better overall player and prospect. Bresee is Rashan Gary 2.0 with more nastiness.

this is 247 composite, 247 themselves still have Bresee no 1.
Bresee stays no 2 in composite which is interesting as Burch isn't no 1 in any of the 3 services yet is no 1 in composite?

What exactly do you base that on? Considering he was drafted at #12 overall, I'd say he's not much of a bum. What in the world happened to our fan base having any class at all?

As addl background, Gary considers himself a natural SDE who was moved inside at UM to his detriment. Based on Gary’s top ranked DL speed and above avg strength, he still grossly underperformed in college and was drafted on potential and communication skills.

He also wasn't surrounded by other dominant DL like we had here at Clemson so he took on a bunch of double and triple teams.

True, it's been a whole recruiting cycle since we landed our last #1 prospect.

So we have a chance to get the #1 player three times in this class?

Because he is uncommitted but may choose an average at best SEC school over the reigning National Champ; that will get clicks.
