Last week, Clemson247 took a look at how the ACC is faring on the recruiting trail at the approximate halfway point to the early signing period for the 2019 cycle.

We also detailed some of the recruiting battles won and lost by Clemson against its conference counterparts.

Today, we do something similar but include the primary out-of-conference programs that Clemson competes or competed with this cycle.

A few notables:

— Clemson has demonstrated in recent cycles that among out-of-conference foes it most overlaps on the recruiting trail with Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.

This cycle, the Tigers have found/find themselves going up against Penn State and Wisconsin more often than the recent norm.

Clemson competes head-to-head against South Carolina sparingly but not at the rate of the aforementioned teams.

Other prominent out-of-conference foes that Clemson has faced/is facing more than once this cycle: Michigan, LSU, Stanford, and Texas A&M

— Clemson has the No. 4 ranked recruiting class in the nation and No. 1 class in the ACC per the 247Sports Composite, which is an industry-generated average. For this article, Composite rankings are used.

— Clemson's 18 commitments tie Texas A&M and LSU for the most among teams in the top 10 of rankings. Among programs in the top 25 of rankings, 18 is second behind Ole Miss', Purdue's, and Minnesota's 19 commitments a piece.

— Clemson's prospects average an 88.87 rating, a high three-star average.

— The Tigers are on pace to sign one of the largest classes in the Dabo Swinney era at Clemson, and potentially the largest ever under his reign. The Tigers signed 29 back in 2011.
