Tigers add height with addition of Kidd
Clemson basketball added key pieces to their roster with the 2020 recruiting class, finishing up ranked 20th in the country and fourth in the ACC. With an emphasis placed on improving the presence of post players, Brad Brownell and staff added three players who stand 6-8 or taller. Full Story » |

Amazing how recruiting has improved along with facility upgrades. Weird how that happens.

You forgot two other key questions:
Aug 31, 2020, 10:45 PM
|
|
1. How long have the staff upgrades (the ones he requested for years before getting) been in place?
2. How long is a college basketball recruiting cycle from start to finish?
You aren’t really one of those dumb fans who thinks that new facilities are a magic wand to instantly attract high school seniors, are you?

Please post some facts to support your ridiculous post.

Perhaps a time when Brad had top flight talent and didn’t succeed with it?
I’ll wait.

I mean seriously, Karen, you've TDed every single post I've
Aug 31, 2020, 1:43 PM

made in this thread and others, regardless of content. Heck, I even praised Brad, and you TDed me. I'll ask again, what's wrong with you?
I don't mind the Karen charade all that much, that's on you, but can you at least TRY to be less of a petty child? Look, I'm sorry that at least two other posters busted your charade before I joined in, and I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt, but at least TRY to "man up" a little bit. Life will go on regardless of how many times you TU yourself and TD me. Step outside the imaginary bubble, okay?

By the way, we both know you use your Bloodbekeller handle to do all your TUing (of yourself) and most of your TDing of me.

I'm hurt.
Why doesn't JK ever use my name?
I mean, I've been told by his non-fans that I'm the second guy off the bench when JK needs some props, but he's never once asked to use my ID. Maybe he's looking for a real avatar and higher membership level.
All I know is that some of y'all work harder at getting out of being supportive of Brownell than you ever have at supporting the basketball Tigers. Any excuse will do.
And it's still August.

Because every ACC fan and sportswriter knows that Brownell constantly underachieves....
All that talent Clemson perennially stocks, and then finishes 2-5 spots lower in the standings than projected....
Said no knowledgeable fan, EVER.

He looks very athletic for a big man. I would love to see some high level basketball at Clemson for the next 4 years. Nice job Brad and company.

Being in the ACC with their resources and commitment to sports, why can’t Clemson get it?

Basically three Top 100 bigs in one class. Unheard of around here.
These guys and what we have coming back looks nice.
Can't wait to see us capitalize and where it takes the program.

we'll see if they transfer after year 1... or battle injuries their whole career.
Hard to get my hopes up for Clemson basketball. I'd love to see the program turn it around, but years and years and years of the same story...

watching a kid dunk against HS players means nothing. More impressive was his jump shot and small hook shot. That's something that can carry forward. He also has good coordination and running . .that is a lot of what gets him praise I am sure.

I would like to see him play PF and not be forced to the center. Do we have teh depth to allow this?

but I don't see this happening again. At the least, he's going to play PF. I hope he stays there.

I'm not a Brad hater, but he needs to get it done starting this season. This Kidd guy looks to be another solid addition. We definitely have enough talent on the roster.
I think Brad's a cool dude. He's a good guy and represents himself and the university well. If he can be successful from this point forward that would be great.

Now, now, BbO, lighten up a little. He just said he is willing to let bygones be bygones so long as the team starts the season red hot and has no disappointing losses.
You can't expect more fervor from a conditional fan than that, can you?

I think that Brad has assembled a pretty good coaching staff that puts in a lot of good work into recruiting!!! Now Brad and Clemson has to do what is necessary to keep those assistants at Clemson in the same ways that Dabo has been able to hold onto his coaching staff for long periods at a time!!!!

Yes, all three freshmen can and will play this year.

Let's also not forget about Nick Honor, who was his conference's freshman of the year at Fordham prior to sitting out last year due to transfer. He played some important minutes for us at PG in Italy. He should get a lot of minutes this year as well.

No doubt Coach BB is great coach. Do you think recruiting picking up with some of the suspect programs under increased scrutiny?
