From Clawson's comments yesterday, you could tell that he was particularly excited about CJ. WF was on him first, and then lots of big boys tried to get involved late, but CJ stayed firm. Clawson said something to the effect that if CJ had re-opened his recruitment late, many big time offers would have followed.
Understandably, recruiting rankings depend on a player's offer list. If I ran a recruiting website, and Bama, Clemson, LSU, Texas and OU offer the same guy, that guy would receive a bump in my rankings too; it's just natural to be influenced by multiple confirmed offers, but because of the dynamics of the offer and commit process, the number and quality of confirmed offers is not always an accurate method for ranking players. For guys that WF offers first and the recruit does not waver, other schools are going to be less likely to offer, which means that player with a WF offer and interest, but no formal offer from big-time Power V schools is not going to get as big a ratings bump as compared to a player that is willing to flirt with other schools and receive offers in response. Also, finding out who a school offers (and the conditions of the offer) is not an exact science. Schools can't make their offers public, so a player's offer list is largely dependent upon the recruit timely and accurately communicating offer info. Not always the case.
Even though WF was ranked 11th in the ACC recruiting rankings for the most recent signing period, there are far fewer than 10 other ACC recruiting classes that Clawson would trade this recruiting class for (guessing the number is 5 or less). The WF staff evaluation of recruits is the ranking that actually translates to results on the field.
