2020 Recruiting Class Further Evidence Dabo Swinney Has Surpassed Nick Saban

Clemson has won two championships in the last four years and they're in position for a run at a third this season, which would vault them into dynasty territory.

Fans wishing to see Dabo Swinney and the Tigers knocked off of their perch are going to be severely disappointed, as Clemson currently has a clear lead over LSU and Alabama in the 2020 recruiting rankings. I mean, this class is incredible thus far.

Swinney has managed to secure commitments from seven of the country's Top 30 players, including two of the top three players in the country in defensive lineman Bryan Breese and Myles Murphy, as well as quarterback DJ Uiagalelei. Two more in Jordan Burch and Justin Flowe expected to join them in the coming days would make this signing class truly remarkable.

These historic numbers are almost never seen outside of Tuscaloosa. It's a clear sign that Saban has been leapfrogged by Swinney in the college football coaching hierarchy, and an even clearer sign that Clemson isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Clemson still has one more year of Trevor Lawrence and Justyn Ross, and then they have the luxury of plugging Uiagalelei into the starting lineup while leaning on an army of 5-star defenders while playing in a laughably weak ACC. What a time to be a Tigers fan.
