Check out this brief article on Dabo Swinney and a very special part of his signing class this time around:  "Clemson adds some class to national signing day stories"

Quote
While we wait to see if America's No. 1 prospect, St. Paul, Minn., lineman Seantrell Henderson ,ever signs with Southern Cal (he's reportedly waiting until USC's meeting with the NCAA in late February), it was nice to see Clemson's Dabo Swinney decide against waiting on Anderson, S.C., linebacker Jake Nicolopulos.

Considering that Nicolopulos will likely never suit up for the Tigers, that's saying something.

Nicolopus committed to Clemson in February, 2009. But this past December, he suffered a stroke that left him unable to talk, walk, or write.

But after massive surgery and two months of therapy, Nicolopus had regained the ability to sign his name - and last Wednesday he did, on a National Letter of Intent that Clemson said it will honor.

Yep, pure class.  You think Kiffen would have done the same?

Yep, Coach Dabo is pure class.  I will be a Clemson fan as long as he is there.

Great story.  This happens a lot, they just don't always write stories about it.  It's pretty common practice for schools to honor their commitment to a kid if something like this happens.  Now Kiffen on the other hand, is a different story.  Good job Coach Swinney. ~thumbsup~
