Shaq by every metric was the highest rated recruit we ever signed. He was #3/4 overall recruit depending on the service.

Reggie was right there, I'll try and dig it up but me and DDY had this conversation a couple months back.

But yes I think Shaq was one or two spots higher than Reggie overall.

There was a big thread on this awhile back. If you count pre- internet days which I admittedly know nothing about, Napoleon Kaufman and Tommie Smith were supposed to be very high as well

Tommie Smith was the biggest by far. Cali state player of the year at tailback. Great safety. Then Nip was even bigger.

You mean Nap? That’s what we called him in high school

That being said, I'm going to need proof that he was ranked top 5 overall by whatever rankings there were.

Shaq is the crown jewel as far as I can tell.

Can't have a link when I was reading live and in passing buttfucker. Go to SportsWASHINGTON, find the search button and find the bitch yourself. Want me to hold your fucking hand the rest of your life? Break free @Doogles, there's a wealth of knowledge right at your fingertips.

Ngata talked with 247 Clemson. Telling quote from the manbeastchild

"My mom liked it and was comfortable with me going there so I knew it was the right timing. Clemson is different than every other school I've visited. It's top-notch in football, academics, and family."
