Tldr; Wondering if anyone has ever gone through the process of a Rehab to Suit, and did you enjoy it?

I'm toying with the idea to offer it as an option with a house I'm about to flip in Greenville, but my gut says it'll just be more hassle than it's worth. That said, the buyer side of me thinks it would be great to be able to make choices on how the finish turned out, materials, etc.

A little context - existing 3 bed/1.5 bath, cute little neighborhood off of Wade Hampton with no HOA, numerous recent rehabs on the street. Needs kitchen/bath overhauls, exterior refresh (planning to paint the raw brick), resurfacing hard woods, new appliances, and all the other little stuff.

I can easily have my crew go through and bring it up to the "what's new and hot" standard, list it, and move quickly, but I'm wondering what the demand/interest would be to offer customization options to a future buyer.

Anyone watching ?

Seems like Kendall is going to go full nut nut next week on stage . Is Shiv really pregnant ?

Good lord I’m ready for one of these with commitment behind it

Swinney Camp Insider V​

CLEMSON -- Big morning for quarterbacks, ditto for defensive linemen.

All things considered, that's where you'd want it to start at the Dabo Swinney Camp.

Let's just get right into it.

In terms of star power and physical stature, this figured to be the signature session for what Clemson attracts to camp at defensive line.

The headliner as far as billing goes was Birmingham (Ala.) Spain Park four-star defensive end Jared Smith.



Smith (6-5, 230) is every bit of his listing height-wise. You want bigger defensive ends -- as the Tigers do -- then he has the frame for it. But he's long, loose-limbed, and moves like a basketball player.

Plenty of room for technical development and strength gains. But these are the types the big boys go after.

Which, naturally, is where Clemson will have its work cut out.

Alabama will be difficult to beat, while UGA, Auburn and maybe even Tennessee, Florida and Florida State have seats at the table.

The Tigers have long been working to get Smith to visit, and he was accompanied on this trip by his mother.

It's a start.

================================

The other defensive lineman whom we think crosses the line for an offer in the near future is Saraland (Ala.) defensive tackle Antonio Coleman.

Coleman (6-2, 265) is going to profile in that undersized Tre Williams mold as far as body type. Not as sawed off as Tyler Davis, better than a Nyles Pinckney. But the three-star body who can reach four-star production.

Alabama offered in the spring and obviously is the suitor with whom Clemson would most have to deal with. Tennessee, Auburn and Ohio State are involved to varying degrees.

But the Tigers are in good graces at Saraland, and you'd like Nick Eason's chances of having Clemson legitimately in it.

================================

Another major defensive line visitor didn't work out, and that was Lake City (S.C.) four-star Amare Adams.

Adams (6-4, 275), ranked No. 28 overall, instead watched the session with his father.

Does he depart with an offer? Swinney makes those final calls.



What we do know is that Clemson likes Adams a lot. Character and talent, those boxes are checked.

Thus the staff laid a lot of love on Adams and his father before camp. Every defensive coach, and numerous support staffers, made their way over to spend a few minutes with them.

The Tigers aimed to send the message that Adams is wanted at Clemson.

We'll see where it goes from there.

South Carolina and UGA stand to be formidable regardless.

================================

This was also a banner day for quarterbacks.

We've mentioned five different notable 2025 prospects who'd be throwing today.

Not often we come away that impressed with an overall group.

From our viewing window, the one we liked the most was Kernersville (N.C.) East Forysth high-three star Bryce Baker.



Smooth would be the word we'd use for Baker (6-2, 185). Good feet, quality footwork, pretty ball, and the most consistently accurate thrower we saw.

Putting all those together in a camp setting doesn't mean you can play quarterback. But if we were to tab the guy we'd offer based on one workout, Baker would have been it.

Cases could also be made for either Dallas (Texas) Parish Episcopal high-three star Sawyer Anderson or Lawrence (Mass.) Central Catholic's Blake Hebert.

Anderson (6-0, 180) is neither tall nor big. So if specs matter as you project system fit, he's not your type. But Anderson can spin it, and that matters in an Air Raid hybrid. We could also tell he has a strong rapport with Garrett Riley.

Hebert got off to a rough start doing drills throwing into stationary nets.

Yet once receivers and routes were incorporated, the light came on, and his zip and natural arm strength surfaced. He's also a bigger, more durable kid.

We know Riley wanted to bundle them together -- along with Harrisburg (Pa.) Bishop McDevitt four-star Stone Saunders and Anderson (S.C.) Westside's Cutter Woods -- in order to foster competition and see who would rise to the top.

The dynamic brought out a lot of good in several of them.

Another who fared well was Tampa (Fla.) Jesuit 2026 quarterback Will Griffin, who already cites offers from Florida, FSU and Miami.

Griffin, as you'll tie together, is a teammate of Clemson linebacker commitment Drew Woodaz.

================================

The quarterbacks had a highly ranked junior wideout to which they threw as well.

Chattanooga (Tenn.) Baylor School four-star Cameron Sparks worked out with the receivers.

Sparks (6-4, 210), ranked No. 29 in the country, is one of those prospects the industry thinks might be better off at linebacker or on defense because of his size.

You'll also connect that he plays at Baylor School for former South Carolina quarterback Erik Kimrey.

Tennessee, South Carolina, UGA, FSU and Auburn are among his offers.

================================

Among the others who competed Thursday morning were Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview four-star lineman Cortez Smith, Enterprise (Ala.) linebacker Eric Winters, Milton (Ga.) four-star tight end Ryan Ghea, Pensacola (Fla.) Catholic four-star receiver Koby Howard, Phenix City (Ala.) Central offensive lineman Mal Waldrop, Savannah (Ga.) Calvary Day defensive tackle Walter Mathis Jr., Calhoun (Ga.) four-star tight end Emaree Winston.

Tampa (Fla.) Berkeley Prep safety offer candidate Dallas Golden was also on hand.

One more workout this afternoon. Stay tuned to Tigerillustrated.com for our continued coverage.

We have been teasing this as the intended Clemson direction for the last week, as hopefully you have seen:

Bode Miller (Olympic Gold Medalist), "After quitting on his soccer team during his first game of the year, I let him run the hill," Miller wrote in the caption of the post. "Enforcing consequences isn’t my favorite part of parenting, but learning from them is important."

"This was about so much more than a game of soccer. It’s about teaching our kids to never quit," he continued.

Hope the link works.

From Rivals.com national recruiting director Adam Gorney this morning:

Coaches still can't get NIL messaging down
The SEC spring meetings are this week and NIL is a dominant topic among the coaches – and they still cannot decide what to do about it.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said to “unionize it” but he might be vastly underestimating the power of unionized workers (players) against their bosses (him). Just ask Amazon - and countless other big companies – why they don’t want their employees to unionize. It would be more like an NFL system – and coaches don't have nearly the power in the league that they have in college football.

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz had a disjointed argument that 18- to 22-year-olds are now getting life-changing money, more than his brother-in-law who’s a pediatrician, but he also didn’t have any solid answer on how to regulate or navigate through a regulatory framework in NIL and said “with this NIL situation, we’ve created our own problem in college sports.”

Ole MIss coach Lane Kiffin was asked about poking Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher and Kiffin still cannot get over the 2022 class where the Aggies signed the No. 1 group in the country and Fisher denied any NIL involvement in that success. Laughable.

There are some states whose lawmakers are voting in favorable NIL laws so high school players can start making NIL money. Some argue it’s only right to do it this way while the states where that won’t happen – or hasn’t happened yet – are complaining.

Every coach seems to have an issue with NIL – not that players are making money – but that there are no specific guidelines around it so everyone is playing on the same financial field.

Whether it’s collectives or foundations now raising money, non-profits, for-profits, one SEC athletics director admitted to Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated that they’re all “money laundering.” What a mess.

Texas A&M has especially gone above and beyond – if you want to use that term for what’s happening there – to skirt any sort of understood NIL guidelines and utilize local laws. More credit to A&M. Since there are no mandated rules really, no rules are being broken per se.

Here’s the problem: State lawmakers, collectives and universities can work NIL miracles until they’re blue in the face chasing championships. Until there are federal NIL standards, until Congress puts guidelines in place where every team is held to the same standards and practices, these workarounds will never end in the pursuit of national titles.

The Aggies sure aren’t paying Fisher $100 million to go 5-7 every year. What’s a few more million to get the best players to College Station?

From Rivals.com national recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr. this morning:

Preseason decisions are serving one of two purposes​

NIL is the low-hanging fruit to blame for drastic changes in a prospect’s plan, especially a commitment flip, but of course there is much more at play than meets the eye.

If there is an early indication on the next element that will contribute to the ever-accelerated fluidity of the college football recruiting process, don’t sleep on the new NCAA rule allowing for unlimited official visits. In the last several weeks, plenty have told Rivals the popular preseason verbal commitment timeline is not just to try and end the process in order to focus on a senior football season.

The plan is to lock in a spot as a proactive plan. The summer visit craze will inevitably lead to plenty of college pledges, but they may not reflect the end of the process for all.

One Power Five talent put it into more specific perspective over the weekend. He will pick a program with the understanding there are still questions about one element of his game. Should they get answered in the fall, the additional interest will lead to offers and a very likely change in college destination. This is just one scenario in which increased visits, specifically in-season, will shake up the future of the sport as much as the coaching carousel, NIL or even team need, in some cases.

We have a broad range family here, from age 3 on up. What is a good seafood place, hopefully relatively nearby. We are staying at a Condo about 3 miles north of Broadway by the Beach. Someplace a little more family friendly and not fine dining.

Is Clemson dependent on their camps to evaluate and lock onto candidates more so than other schools? Would you attribute the poor recruiting years of 2019 and 2020 (lots of bad evaluations) to COVID and the lack of camp participation?
The running back and wide receiver recruiting appears to have improved dramatically from beating the bushes for players (Haynes and Turner) to having a full board to work from (first choice, fall backs, and high potential).

Bought tickets hoping to make it to todays game, but can’t do 1pm. Heading to Montana tomorrow for vacation.

Section P, Row D, Seats 4 & 5

$60/seat for the weekend - face value
$20/seat for game - hoping to get my money back

First time season ticket seller here and am just curious if there's a specific place to post on TI. Looked around but nothing jumped out. Otherwise, other than a few FB groups where's the best place to list season tickets this early? Single game seems straight forward, but would rather sell and be done with it.

If anyone's interested, they are 4 in section O row J, and 5 in section N row AA. Let me know.

Going to welcome @RaleighTiger home from the Middle East and drink some 🍺.
Wednesday 5:30 Keg Cowboy Downtown Lexington
@IrmeseTiger @ChiefTiger @kethdredd @Ron Munson @Stickman413 @poates6

You saw this coming too, haha.

As we reported recently, his visit checked the final box so Clemson could make him DL offer No. 1 for the 2025 class.

Dabo Swinney has pulled the trigger on an offer to Lake City (S.C.) four-star defensive tackle Amare Adams.

I would say it a good thing Adams spent the day on campus with the staff.

I say “claimed” because even when they said they hated it, they were still doing it.

Well now they are canceling chick fil a.

What a time we live in. The crazies are out in full force.

Any nice bars or restaurants with docks on Lake Hartwell in the Clemson Area?

Committing June 14th. If I remember correctly we were the favorite here. @Paul Strelow is it looking good even without the offer yet?
