Just minutes after the Clemson Tigers blew the doors off the Alabama Crimson Tide in the National Championship game, the recruiting had begun. 

Following Clemson's dominant 44-16 victory at Levi's Stadium, Tigers' defensive end Clelin Ferrell grabbed the microphone and delivered a quick, Suge Knight-inspired promo to all the highly touted high school football players across the country.

"For any recruits out there, if you wanna come to a program where you gotta worry about your coach all up in the locker room, dancing, come to Death Valley!"

Of course, Ferrell's pitch was a reference to Knight calling out Diddy at the 1995 Source Awards. "Any artist out there that want to be an artist and stay a star, and don't have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the record, dancing… come to Death Row," Knight said at the time.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has made a habit of joining in on the celebratory dances after victories, hence Ferrell's remark, "come to a program where you gotta worry about your coach all up in the locker room, dancing."
