Why Clemson is the favorite to land Zion Williamson

Posted Jan 19, 2018
Zion Williamson isn’t the type of basketball recruit Clemson typically lands. The 247Sports composite rankings date back 15 years to 2003. During that time, the Tigers have signed one five-star recruit and six top 100 prospects. Yet, Clemson is viewed as the favorite to land Williamson, the No. 3 overall recruit in the country, heading into his 8 p.m. Saturday announcement. (The State)
