    RECRUTING ON FIRE / Clemson Tigers LIVE 198 / ALL IN SHOW 178

    Episode Notes: RECRUITING ON FIRE / Clemson Tigers LIVE 198 / ALL IN SHOW 178 Hosts: Edward "Tiger Paw" Craven (TPC) & Jordan Bowman Platform: ClemsonVOCFB (Voice of College Football) Length: ~1 hour 10 minutes (late start, abbreviated format) Overview A high-energy, recruiting-heavy episode recapping Clemson’s massive official visit weekend and subsequent commitment surge. The hosts celebrate 9 new commitments since the previous show, pushing the 2027 class to 21 total commitments (ranked ~6th nationally at the time). They break down film, player profiles, fit in the program, and recruiting momentum under Dabo Swinney, Matt Luke (OL), Chris Rumph/Tom Allen (defense), and the staff. Key Commitments Discussed Elijah Morrison (Interior OL, 6'3" 290, Georgia) 4-star, high-floor guard with positional versatility. Nasty run blocker, pulls well, strong in space. Shot putter (track background). Committed pre-OV weekend over UGA, FSU, Auburn, etc. Big Matt Luke get. Julian Camardi (WR, Big-bodied X, Texas) 3-star with 4-star traits. Son of Antonio Cromartie. Excellent at the catch point, physical after contact, red-zone threat. Adds size/physicality to a speed-heavy WR room. Mike Williams/T. Higgins comps. Santana Harvey (EDGE, 6'3" 230, Lakeland, FL) 4-star, explosive pass rusher with length and bend. Highly productive junior year. Needs to add strength but has elite tools for Tom Allen’s defense. Desmond Malpress (EDGE, 6'3" ~215, Jacksonville, FL) 4-star, more polished than Harvey but also wiry. Beat South Carolina. Quick first step, high motor. Developmental piece with high upside. Luke Starkovich (OL/ATH, 6'5" 260, North Dakota) Rare long-arm developmental prospect from outside traditional footprint. Elite athleticism (basketball, track, two-way player). Projects as OT but has H-back/TE/DL experience. Nick Pollock (TE/H-back, Georgia) Son of David Pollack. Athletic, versatile “do-it-all” player. Good after the catch, blocking utility.

Former basketball player. High floor + ceiling. Major Matt Luke win. Jaquan Rogers (EDGE, 6'3" 225, Birmingham, AL) 3-star rising fast. Explosive, bendy, multi-sport athlete.

    RECRUITING MOMENTUM CONTINUES / Clemson Tigers LIVE 197 / ALL IN SHOW 177

    Episode Notes: RECRUITING MOMENTUM CONTINUES Clemson Tigers LIVE 197 / ALL IN SHOW 177 Hosts: Edward "Tiger Paw" Craven (TPC) & Jordan Bowman ClemsonVOCFB (Voice of College Football) Overview The episode focuses on Clemson's strong recent recruiting momentum for the 2027 class. The hosts discuss two new commits, preview the upcoming official visit weekend, evaluate key targets, and address broader program topics like coaching staff performance and roster building. The show ends with an extended live Q&A. Key Recruiting Updates Class Status: 12 commits, currently ranked 17th nationally. Recent Commits (both named Carter): Carter Jones (4 OL, Virginia): First offensive line commit. Physical, nasty run blocker from a Wing-T offense. Projects inside; strong Virginia pipeline for Clemson OL. Beat out Penn State. Carter Blackwell (TE, Georgia): Athletic pass-catcher with good size (6'4", 224 lbs). Versatile (can play wide/H-back). Reminds hosts of Jake Briningstool. Joins a deep TE room (Olsen, Pat Henry, etc.). Hosts praise the staff (especially Matt Luke and Kyle Richardson) for flipping the script after a slow stretch. Official Visit Weekend Preview A loaded weekend with 30+ visitors. High momentum expected to yield 4+ public commitments (possibly more silent ones). Notable Visitors & Battles: Edge/DE: Heavy focus (no current commits). Targets include Kayron Wheeler (4), Jaquan Rogers (3, likely first DE commit), Santana Harvey (4), Justin Weeks. WR: Julian Cromartie (3, big-bodied) — very close to committing. DB/Corner: Jaden Aparicio Bailey, Bryant Robinson, Seth Williams (former commit taking visits but still high on Clemson). TE: Nicholas Pollock (son of David Pollock) — strong lean; would make it two TEs in class. OL: Reed Ramseyer (more realistic shot), Nate Carson, JJ Brown. Safety: Tayshaun Poole (Tennessee lean but Clemson in mix). Committed players (including Max Brown & Kareem Hughley) will act as hosts. Strategy Notes: Clemson targeting high-floor 4-star/blue-chip prospects (100-400 range) rather than chasing elite price-tag 5-stars amid NIL realities. Other Topics Pete Golding (Alabama DC): Hosts mocked his recent media comments. Chad Morris Offense: Emphasis on physicality, tight end usage, and run game. Positive recruiting impact. Matt Luke & OL: Critical year. Need production after tough stretch; talent is arriving. Tight End Room: Deep and talented under Kyle Richardson. Class Outlook: Aiming for 20-21 total commits, top 15-20 ranking. Realistic given portal supplementation. Viewer Q&A Highlights Class size & final ranking expectations. Portal vs. high school recruiting balance. Analyst/NFL legacy sons gravitating to Clemson (Dabo's relationships). Matt Luke evaluation. Chad Morris' personality & recruiting boost. Broader college football issues (playoff focus, BYOG bill skepticism). NFL playoffs chatter (Knicks, Wemby, etc.). Overall Tone: Optimistic and energetic. Momentum is real heading into official visits. Strong emphasis on enjoying the highs after recent recruiting valleys. Runtime: ~2 hours. Solid mix of analysis, highlights, and fan interaction.

    Clemson Recruiting is HEATING UP! - Why 2027 Class Just Took a HUGE Step Forward

    Clemson Recruiting Video Notes: "Clemson Recruiting is HEATING UP!" (2027 Class) Hosts: Jordan Bowman & Edward "Tiger Paw" Craven (ClemsonVOCFB) Overall Summary Clemson had a huge week with three major commitments, significantly boosting the 2027 recruiting class. Momentum heading into official visit weekend. Strong praise for offensive staff (Chad Morris, CJ Spiller, Tyler Grisham, Matt Luke). 1. Gary Walker – 4-Star RB (Creekside HS, Fairburn, GA) Commitment: Monday Key Stats: 6'0, 200 lbs | 1,700+ rushing yards & 24 TDs last season Why Clemson got him: Was Clemson's #1 RB target (especially after Trey Cigara backed off). Beat out Andrew Beard (considered the better fit for what Clemson wants). Playing Style & Traits: Explosive, powerful lower body, one-cut ability. Breakaway speed + physical runner (lowers shoulder, runs through contact). Elusive in open field, creates separation. High character, strong work ethic, big motor. Developing pass-catching skills. Fit: Ideal three-down back for Chad Morris offense (run-heavy). Compared to former Clemson RB James Davis. Hosts’ Take: High ceiling (All-Conference potential), RB1 potential, could contribute early. 2. Jamaran "Waffle House" Simmons – 4-Star WR (Amos P. Godby HS, Tallahassee, FL) Commitment: Wednesday (shortly after Walker) Key Stats: 5'11, 165 lbs Recruiting Context: Long-time high-priority target. Clemson was his first offer in 2027 class and always the leader. Pulled from Florida State’s backyard despite competition from Tennessee & Auburn. Playing Style & Traits: Top-end speed, sudden acceleration, sharp route running. Excellent hands, ball skills, acrobatic catches, high-point ability. Slippery after catch. Big-play threat (slot weapon + vertical stretch). Fit: Perfect slot receiver for Chad Morris/ Tyler Grisham offense. Compared to Naim Burroughs (previous class). Hosts’ Take: Instant impact player. Tyler Grisham getting strong praise for consistently landing elite WRs despite QB instability. 3. Carter Jones – 4-Star OL (Poquoson HS, Poquoson, VA) Announcement: Memorial Day (Monday) Key Stats: 6'5, 291 lbs | Projects to interior but has positional versatility Recruiting Status: Strong lean to Clemson. Recently canceled Tennessee visit. Still taking official to Clemson on May 29th. Has visited Clemson 7+ times. Playing Style & Traits: Nasty, physical, strong finisher. Good athleticism (played both ways in HS). Strong in run game. Pass pro is a question mark (HS ran Wing-T). Recruiting Notes: Matt Luke has done excellent work. Comfortable with Luke’s development track record and stability (Luke’s son committed to Clemson). Weighed girlfriend going to Penn State but prioritized school fit. Hosts’ Take: Very likely Clemson commit. Would be another big win for the offensive line. Key Takeaways & Staff Praise Chad Morris offense is a major selling point (more run focus, featured RB, vertical passing). Tyler Grisham building elite WR room for years to come. CJ Spiller landing top running back. Matt Luke closing strong on offensive line. 2027 class ceiling raised significantly with Walker + Simmons. Still pursuing more pieces (e.g. Tay Walden at WR). Hosts’ Final Thoughts: Exciting time for Clemson recruiting. Big momentum heading into official visits. Stay tuned for Tuesday’s All-In Show. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    THE ONES YOU GET / Clemson Tigers LIVE 196 / ALL IN SHOW 176

    THE ONES YOU GET / Clemson Tigers LIVE 196 / ALL IN SHOW 176 Hosts: Jordan Bowman & Edward “Tiger Paw” Craven (TPC) Podcast: Voice of College Football (ClemsonVOCFB) Length: ~1 hour 50 minutes (based on transcript) Air Date: May 19, 2026 (referencing 2026 season prep) Overall Tone & Theme Positive, community-focused Clemson football show with heavy emphasis on recent roster news, empathy for a player’s health battle, recruiting momentum, and honest reflection on other sports. Mix of serious discussion, fan interaction, and sponsor plugs. Key Segments & Highlights 1. Opening & Community (First ~10-15 min) Standard intro, FanDuel sponsor plug, shoutouts to regulars/channel members (David, Tiger Devil, John, Air Mike). Emphasis on viewer support making the offseason bearable. 2. Major News: Kevin (Heaven) Brown-Schuler (Soph DT) Diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma → out for entire 2026 season. Hosts express deep sympathy/prayers; TPC shares personal family experience with lymphoma. Significant blow to DT depth (already lost Courtney Kelly — ACL, plus prior departures like Peter Woods, Demonte Capehart, Stephon Green). Emotional but hopeful tone — focus on his fight and long-term outlook. 3. Defensive Tackle Room Outlook Remaining options: Amari Adams (high upside), Vic Burley (opportunity year), Marcus Strong, new transfer Marcus Strong? + Juco Andy Berbergia, etc. New transfer Devarick Woods (Texas State, RS Senior, 6'1-6'3, ~290 lbs) discussed as key plug-and-play depth, strong run defender, Juco grinder mentality. Woods committed recently; seen as timely addition after injuries/news. One-and-done but valuable veteran presence. 4. Recruiting Wins Jarrell Chandler (4-star S, Nashville, TN): Big commitment over Tennessee (hometown) and Miami. Fits Tom Allen’s defense (size/length/versatility at S/LB). Hosts call it a “massive” big-boy recruiting win and optics boost. Gary Walker (4-star RB, Fairburn, GA): Set to announce commitment the next day (finalists included Clemson, Penn State, etc.). Strong push from Clemson after Andrew Beard went to Florida. 5. Other Sports Quick Hits Baseball: Season ends with loss to Notre Dame in ACC Tournament. Frustrating, low-scoring, missed opportunities. “Thankfully it’s over.” Back to drawing board for Eric Bakich in Year 4 (portal + staff work needed). Softball: Eliminated in Athens Regional final. Tough offensive showing vs. UNCG/Georgia despite strong pitching (Abby Dunning). Young team (only 2 seniors out) → optimism for 2027 with Maness back + portal/recruiting. 6. Basketball Portal Addition David Fuchs (6'9", ~245 lbs, 4-star transfer from San Francisco/WCC): Interior presence, rebounding, scoring. Hosts love the fit for ACC frontcourts. Brad Brownell went 4-for-4 on portal visitors. 7. Listener Q&A / Miscellaneous Playoff expansion criticism (unpopular with fans, driven by TV money). NIL/portal speculation, roster pay (Will Shipley guessed as high earner). University debt discussion (~$1.15B — infrastructure-related, not directly impacting athletics much). Optimism for 2026 football despite losses; recruiting should land in top 10-15 range. Various other fan comments (Braves, Kevin Jennings hype, etc.). 8. Closing Promos for VOCFB website, shop, podcast platforms, reviews. Tease next show (likely post-Gary Walker commitment). Go Tigers sign-off. Standout Quotes / Moments TPC on Brown-Schuler: Personal, heartfelt lymphoma story. On Chandler: “Big recruiting win… Clemson can still swing a big stick.” Baseball: “Disaster of a year… one of the worst in modern history.” General vibe: Realistic but hopeful — acknowledge setbacks but highlight portal/recruiting responses. Episode Strengths: Timely news coverage, emotional depth on health issue, balanced recruiting talk, strong fan engagement. This was a jam-packed episode covering the biggest Clemson stories of the week. Perfect for fans wanting the latest on roster moves, recruiting, and program pulse.

    COLLEGE GAMEDAY / Clemson Tigers LIVE 195 / ALL IN SHOW 175

    Episode Notes: Clemson Tigers LIVE 195 / ALL IN SHOW 175 "The All In Show presented by FanDuel" Hosts: Jordan Bowman & Edward "Tiger Paw" Craven (Tiger Paw) Date: May 12, 2026 (pre-2026 season focus) Length: ~2 hours Overall Theme Clemson football discussion in the lead-up to the 2026 season, heavy emphasis on the high-profile Week 1 matchup vs. LSU (College GameDay in "Fake Death Valley"), recruiting updates, defensive rankings of Clemson's schedule, baseball/softball updates, and listener Q&A. Key Segments & Highlights 1. Opening / Housekeeping (0:00 - ~15:00) Shoutouts to chat regulars (John, Drake Pulse, Joe, Arthur, David, etc.). Call to action: Like, subscribe, share, review on podcast platforms. Hosts catch up: Paul's online classes joke at Ole Miss, family graduation; Jordan's family/softball/CrossFit life. 2. Recruiting Update (~15:00 - ~30:00) Wide Receiver: Strong confidence in Jameron Simmons (top-ranked WR) trending to Clemson; also in mix for Tay Walden. Pairing with Trey Windley would be solid. Safety: Focus shifting to Jarrell Chandler (versatile, fits Tom Allen scheme) after others trend elsewhere. Running Back: Andrew Beard to Florida; Gary Walker heavily trending to Clemson. Staff (CJ Spiller) would be happy with him. Tight End: Official visit pushes for Carter Blackwell (confirmed) and Mason Hall. Defensive End: Monitoring Caleb Spivey, Elijah Cox, Jaquan Rogers; recent offers out. Overall tone: Not doom-and-gloom despite recent misses; focus on quality over quantity and hot irons in the fire. 3. College GameDay Announcement & LSU Preview (~30:00 - ~1:00:00) Official: College GameDay at LSU ("Fake Death Valley") for Clemson Week 1. Not a surprise — best Week 1 game. Clemson ~11.5-point underdog; hosts expect double-digit spread. Optimism for upset potential due to: Both teams have massive unknowns (new schemes, transfers, QB health for LSU's Sam Leavitt). Clemson as motivated underdog (Dabo loves this narrative). LSU's portal-heavy roster may not gel immediately (reference to past Week 1 upsets like Alabama-FSU). Clemson advantages discussed: New Chad Morris offense (unknown tape), skill talent mismatches possible (TEs, RBs), athleticism improvements on defense. 4. 2026 Schedule Defense Rankings (~1:00:00 - ~1:52:00) Draft-style ranking of Power 4 defenses Clemson will face (best to worst). Jordan's Ranking (approx.): LSU Miami Georgia Tech / Others ... (full details in transcript; strong agreement with Paul on most). Tiger Paw Craven's Ranking highlights: High on Duke (Manny Diaz); Jordan lower. Low on Syracuse (worst in ACC). Virginia Tech discussion (return to form?). Consensus: LSU/Miami at top; Syracuse at bottom. Fun revisit planned at season's end. 5. Other Sports (~1:52:00 - end) Baseball: Disappointing 30-23 season; at-large bid dead after FSU series loss. Injuries, portal misses, regression (e.g., Aiden Canuck). Need coaching/staff changes. Softball: In NCAA Tournament (Athens Regional, #6 seed). Tough draw vs. Georgia but young team playing with house money. Quick lacrosse shoutout. 6. Listener Q&A / Close Defense self-ranking: Hosts slot Clemson D ~3rd-4th on own schedule. Various chat topics (Cal QB, Duke, Syracuse loss context, etc.). Amazon affiliate reminder, FanDuel promo, VOCFB website/merch plug. Closing: Excitement for 2026 despite challenges; "Go Tigers." Notable Quotes / Tone "Fake Death Valley" repeated (playful rivalry). Balanced but realistic outlook on LSU game — winnable but tough. Recruiting: "It's about the ones you get." Syracuse: Both hosts very low; "Super Bowl every year" jab. Episode Strengths: Entertaining banter, detailed schedule analysis, honest assessment of program's current state. Great for Clemson fans wanting 2026 preview content. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

    Clemson Tigers LIVE 194 / ALL IN SHOW 174

    Clemson Tigers LIVE 194 / ALL IN Show 174 Hosts: Edward “Tiger Paw” Craven & Jordan Bowman Channel: ClemsonVOCFB ️ Overview A candid, wide-ranging episode covering Clemson football recruiting struggles, Dabo Sweeney’s recent comments, baseball updates, and broader program direction in the NIL/portal era. The tone is realistic/frustrated but hopeful, with strong fan interaction at the end. Key Segments & Takeaways 1. 2027 Recruiting Struggles Recent losses: 4 TE Jackson Dollar → Georgia 4 OT Elijah Hutchison → Florida RB Andrew Beard sets commitment date for May 9 (finalists: Clemson, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia; momentum leans away from Clemson) Clemson is 0-4 vs. Florida on top 2027 targets this cycle. Bright spots: Still strong on RB Gary Walker (official visit expected); OL depth from prior class helps but creates logjam concerns. Broader context: Post 7-6 season effects, negative recruiting, NIL disparities, and Florida’s new staff under John Sumrall making an impact. Hosts’ view: Need to dig deeper on the board and use the transfer portal; still time before major official visit weekends (late May & mid-June). 2. Dabo Sweeney on Greg McElroy Podcast Dabo was very candid about Clemson’s NIL financial limitations and recruiting philosophy (won’t overpay high school kids above current roster values, e.g., Sammy Brown example). Drew parallels to his early tenure turnaround. Hosts’ reaction: Appreciate the honesty, but skeptical Clemson can compete nationally without adjusting the model. Rev-share (86% participation) hasn’t replaced NIL effectively. Coaching staff changes and talent acquisition remain critical issues. 3. Program Direction & Future Outlook Acknowledgment of downward trajectory since ~2020 and the 7-6 season. Strong praise for Dabo’s overall impact on the university (facilities, enrollment, visibility, donations). Realistic assessment: Clemson can return to 9–10 wins and ACC contention, but national championship contention requires changes in NIL strategy, coaching execution, and roster building. Fan Q&A: Coaching accountability, expectations for Chad Morris’ offense (needs identity and explosiveness), playoff expansion implications. 4. Baseball Update Clemson baseball holds on for 8-4 midweek win over highly ranked Coastal Carolina — big confidence boost. 5. Fan Comments / Channel Business Shoutouts to channel members and moderators (John Sarian, Air Mike, etc.). Lighthearted banter on unrelated topics (Lakers, skiing stories). Strong call to action for likes, subs, and membership. Overall Tone & Verdict Honest, unfiltered discussion typical of the show. Hosts are loyal but not delusional — they highlight systemic challenges (NIL, recruiting momentum, coaching) while crediting Dabo’s legacy and expressing hope for a turnaround. Recruiting frustration is high, but the running back room and upcoming visits offer optimism. Recommended for: Clemson fans wanting straight talk on the current state of the program without sugarcoating. Classic “All In” mix of analysis, realism, and fan engagement.

    Clemson Tigers LIVE 193 / ALL IN SHOW 173

    Episode Notes: Clemson Tigers LIVE 193 / ALL IN SHOW 173 Hosts: Jordan Bowman & Edward "Tiger Paw" Craven (ClemsonVOCFB) Date: ~April 29, 2026 (post-2026 NFL Draft, pre-May official visits) Length: ~1 hour 50+ minutes (live show) Overall Summary A wide-ranging Clemson-focused live show covering recruiting updates, 2026 NFL Draft recaps/celebrations, diamond sports (baseball & softball), and an extended viewer Q&A. The tone is positive on player achievements but realistic/frustrated about recent on-field results, recruiting momentum, and program challenges (NIL/money, development, 7-6 season). Key Segments 1. Intro & Banter (0:00 - ~10:00) Technical difficulties delayed the start. Agenda: NFL Draft, 2027 recruiting, baseball/softball, viewer comments. Hosts share personal updates; discuss NBA playoffs and how Clemson's 9 NFL Draft picks contrast with the disappointing 7-6 season. 2. 2027 Recruiting Update Currently 7 commits (ranked ~24th nationally). Struggles: Offensive line and tight end groups taking big hits. OL: 5 offered players committed elsewhere (latest: 4 Peyton Miller to Florida). TE: Tommy Douglas (Florida), Grant (Vanderbilt). Momentum has stalled; several May official visit prospects off the board. Pivots/Targets: Expanding board (e.g., 3 OT JJ Brown), still in mix for DBs (Bryce Williams, Jaden Aprecio Bailey), WRs (Trey Wembley, Jameron Simmons trending), RBs (Andrew Beard, Gary Walker — possible to land both). Context: Tough to follow a strong prior class + NIL/money issues + negative recruiting from 7-6 record. Staff (esp. Matt Luke) still trusted; not overly panicked but OL/TE need work before May visits. 3. 2026 NFL Draft Recap — Celebrating 9 Tigers (Program Record in First 5 Rounds) 1st Round: Blake Miller (OT, #17 to Detroit Lions) — First modern-era Clemson OL first-rounder. Ironman (4-year starter). Great fit with Dan Campbell. Peter Woods (DT, #29 to Kansas City Chiefs) — Learns from Chris Jones. 2nd Round: TJ Parker (EDGE, #35 to Buffalo Bills) — New Harbaugh staff. Avion Terrell (CB, #48 to Atlanta Falcons) — Joins brother AJ Terrell. Emotional hometown/family story. 3rd Round: Antonio Williams (WR, #71 to Washington Commanders) — Program guy, reliable slot weapon. Later picks + UDFAs/camp invites also highlighted. Overall: Strong individual success despite team underperformance questions. 4. Diamond Sports Baseball: Disappointing season. Calls for more investment, possible staff changes, better player acquisition. Eric Bakich still seen as the right head coach but needs support. Softball: Split series with Duke (won Saturday shootout). Heading to ACC Tournament. Relies heavily on pitching (Sierra Maness, Abby Dunning, Macy Cintron). Young team — optimism for 2027 despite limited deep-run expectations this year. 5. Viewer Q&A / Comments Future first-rounders (2027 Draft): Brian Wesco (if healthy), TJ Moore, Sammy Brown, possibly Will Hill or transfers. Biggest surprise non-portal player: Vic Burley (health), Kobe McLeod, Fletcher Cothran, Tyler Brown (slot rebound?), Darian Mayo, etc. Offensive line outlook: Mixed feelings despite talent; big year for Matt Luke. 10+ win season impact: Would rebuild confidence, help NIL/recruiting, signal turnaround. Other: Frustration with NIL/money, coaching, portal strategy; banter on rivals (FSU struggles, etc.). Sponsors & Plugs FanDuel — Main sponsor (NBA playoffs promos, live betting, parlays). Channel memberships highlighted (Zachariah, John Sarian, Arthur, etc.). Merch: vocfb-shop (Clemson/VOCFB gear). Podcast: Search “Clemson Live” on audio platforms. Closing Strong thanks to live chat (~50+ viewers), super chats, and supporters. Next show: Following Tuesday at 8 PM. Sign-off: “Go Tigers!” Episode Tone: Celebratory on NFL successes and player stories, candidly concerned on recruiting/baseball/overall program momentum, optimistic for upcoming season and younger athletes. Classic fan-podcast mix of analysis, emotion, and interaction. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Clemson Tigers LIVE 192 / ALL IN SHOW 172

    Opening and Sponsors (Early Segment) Warm welcome to Clemson and college football fans. Shoutout to sponsor FanDuel for betting odds on NBA playoffs, college baseball, and more. Hosts encourage placing small wagers to make games more exciting. Tease a "big show" focused on recruiting intel, upcoming official visit weekends, plus quick hits on baseball, softball, and basketball. Note: Shorter episode tonight, but they'll hit the comment section at the end for viewer questions. Co-Host Banter Jordan Bowman joins; both discuss feeling a bit lost with TV shows wrapping up (e.g., Invincible, The Pitt). Casual thanks to early commenters and loyal channel members (John Sarin, Zachariah, Air Mike, Tiggs, etc.). Hosts encourage viewers to drop questions in the comments early. Recruiting Intel (2027 Class Focus) Dead period is over; coaches are back on the road. Clemson sits at #22 in the 2027 class rankings with 7 commits so far. Two official visit weekends planned: Main one: May 29–31. Follow-up: June 12–14 (for stragglers). Negative news: 5-star CB Josh Dobson (in-state, from Hough HS/North Carolina, previously Catawba Ridge) released his top 5 and cut Clemson. He had an early offer and strong prior relationship, but Auburn's official visit signaled the shift. Hosts called it last week; tough in-state loss, especially since South Carolina made his final cut. Dobson would have been the "crown jewel" of the DB class. Positive updates (Clemson still in strong position or made final cuts): In-state interior OL Nate Carson: Made top 5; battle likely between in-state schools, could go to official visits. OT Elijah Hutchinson (North Cross, Virginia): Made top 4. Clemson pushing hard in the Virginia/DMV pipeline (also mentioned Carter Jones). 4-star WR Lawrence Britt (Tennessee, #2 WR in state): Made top 6. Missouri seen as current leader, but Clemson has a shot to pair him with Trey Wembley. Still in play for Jermarion Simmons (Florida). New name: 3-star TE Carter Blackwell — Clemson has surged in his recruitment (Georgia and Ohio State also involved; Duke longest). Hosts believe Clemson is in the driver's seat; he's locked in for the May 29–31 official visit. Athletic fit for Kyle Richardson's tight end mold; strong chance for a commitment. Other TE targets trending away. Overall: Dynamic board with movement. Defensive backs still a priority (targets like Jaden Aparicio Bailey, Kejuan Telfair, Bryant Robinson). Emphasis on Northeast/Virginia offensive line prospects under Matt Luke. Hosts note the NIL/portal-era challenges but stress locking in the right guys. Baseball Update Season described as very disappointing with higher preseason expectations. Issues: Inconsistent hitting, defensive mistakes, pitching meltdowns at key moments. "Snake-bitten" feel—one hit/mistake/pitch away from turning things around, but they often do the worst possible thing. Recently let another winnable ACC series slip (at Virginia), similar to North Carolina. Only consistent thing: falling short. Critique of Eric Bakich (year 4): Possibly his worst coaching job; questions on talent acquisition, lineup management, player development, and favoritism toward "his guys." Examples of transfers/former players (Billy Amick, Nathan Hall, Tristan Bissetta) thriving elsewhere (especially SEC) after limited roles at Clemson. Stats mentioned: 26-16 overall, 6-12 in ACC (lost 4 of 5 recent ACC series; only beat Stanford convincingly). Metrics like them slightly better than record, but tough non-con schedule. Upcoming: Louisville series (winnable; need an ACC win badly). Hosts doubt a deep NCAA Tournament run; season feels like "a wash." Tough offseason conversations ahead on roster management, development, and possible staff changes—even if they sneak into the tournament. Not the standard expected under Bakich (prior years had strong runs, national seeds, regional hosting). Softball Update Turning a corner after dropping a series to Virginia Tech: Rattled off two straight ACC series wins, including a sweep of Virginia (allowed just 6 runs; run-rule in game 1). Hitting more consistent; Sierra Maness is a workhorse/iron woman (heavy pitch count). Final regular-season ACC series: At Duke (tough road matchup; Duke is 1-2 in ACC standings, excellent at home ~14-4, on a winning streak, one of the best teams nationally). Outlook: Hope to steal at least one (ideally Friday night with Maness pitching, before Duke sees her multiple times). Avoid a sweep; a series win would be massive momentum into ACC Tournament and postseason. Clemson has struggled historically on the road at Duke. Basketball Portal/Offseason Updates Brad Brownell adding pieces amid turnover. Key transfers: Big man Dylan Faulkner (Sanford): Averaged ~17 PPG, 8 RPG; first-team all-conference. Strong interior scorer, rebounder, defender, low-post presence. Good replacement/complement for departing guys; pairs well with returning Carter Welling (from injury). Formidable frontcourt potential. Sharp-shooting wing Lauteris Lila Vicious (from Kansas State; pronunciation banter ensues—hosts give it their best shot). 6'7", averaged ~8 PPG but strong outside threat (e.g., 27 vs. Kansas). Brings versatility and floor-spacing; important for outside shooting with departures like Budda Johnson. Cole Serda (from Notre Dame): Expected to be a primary outside weapon. Returning pieces: Ace Buckner, Dallas Thomas, Zach Foster, Carter Welling. Roster currently ~13 players. Positive momentum; should compete in ACC and push for a 4th straight NCAA Tournament (rare in Clemson history). Praise for Brownell navigating portal/staff changes on short notice. Comment Section Highlights Viewer questions on 2026 NFL Draft prospects (Clemson could have 6–9 drafted; sure things include Peter Woods, TJ Parker, Blake Miller, Cade Klubnick, Avion Terrell, DeMonte Capehart, Wade Woodaz; Tristan Lee also likely. Discussion on order, potential first-rounders like Woods/Miller/Terrell/Parker). Banter on name pronunciations (past and present Clemson players).

Closing Like/subscribe reminders; podcast availability (Clemson Live on major platforms). Promo for VOCFB website (vocfb.com) and merch (vocfb-shop). FanDuel reminder. Sign-off: "I'm Tiger Paw Craven. He's Jordan Bowman. Go Tigers."
