about today’s basketball signees.

Our 2024 class is currently ranked #17. I wanted to make sure that the Brownell Bashers here are aware, since they like to criticize Brad’s recruiting.

Isn’t it amazing what an increased budget for hiring better assistant coaches can do?

That’s the main problem with that guy/girl. Always seeks to divide the Clemson fan base by deflecting from the one constant of basketball mediocrity over the last 14 years. Makes it hard to enjoy success they do have. My goal this basketball season is to focus solely on the players and their success without worrying about the brain trust this year.

Even if we sign a top 30-35 class, that's mid-pack in the ACC.

Yet when you look at our conference finishes, we do better than our recruiting rankings would suggest. It's another example of Brownell doing more with less.

Tournament teams each year are littered with teams with less talent by recruiting standards, that achieve the goal of making the tournament and winning games in the tournament.

Arguing your point of Brownell doing more with less, imagine if we had one of their coaches who could do more with the greater recruiting classes we have

His 2020 class was equally ranked. Hall was the highest rated and is returning for his true senior season. Brownell ran off the other 2/3 of the class. One of whom just went in the first round of the draft.

So you want to argue semantics rather than facts. Did Kidd leave? Who recruited him? Why did he choose to leave? Was it circumstances within conscious control of the coach? If so - “run off” would apply regardless of whether or not beneficial. Did he leave for reasons unbeknownst to the coach? He’s noT managing 85 scholarships. If he’s losing 2/3rd of his best class it’s still on him. I think “run off “ works just fine.

Because they chose to leave. Who would have been most responsible for creating and environment that would encourage his recruits to stay. Once again, you absolve the coach of any responsibility for his program. Why do you care so much who coaches when you obviously don’t think they have any effect on the program.

Dude, you’re in flat earth territory. It’s an expression not a scientific term or unit of measure. I explained the meaning as I used it. If you don’t like it, tough ####. You haven’t won anything. And you haven’t in any way addressed the underlying issue that his 2/3 of recruits from 2020 left. And his last two recruiting classes have been bottom of the ACC.

But just In case you’re ready to turn a new leaf:

Run off : “to cause someone or something to leave” - Cambridge Dictionary

If Brad’s actions, directly or indirectly, don’t have an effect on our signees choice to leave then what is his job? You’ve lost. You’re wrong. Completely and totally. Zero gray area. But the power of the internet is you are never held to account and just post again.

I love that you continue to think that Brownell’s inability to develop the best recruiting class in Clemson history is somehow a positive for him. Perhaps relying on such idiotic arguments are why you and JK have so badly lost the public perception war on TNet. Most of these folks are indifferent at best to basketball but your asinine arguments have earned their derision. He inherited them with three years of eligibility left. Lost Noel Johnson after 1 season and failed Milton Jennings on every possibly level. But somehow, despite coaching him for 3 seasons bares no responsibility for the outcome in your eyes.

Unfortunately for whatever you might choose to reply, your coach disagrees with you: “ I am taking over a program that is in good shape and is in the best basketball league in the country… I immediately looked at the roster to see who is coming back, what do they have, are the guys any good, what have they done in the past. Obviously it didn’t take me long. I knew they had been in the tournament and they have good players in the program. So to come into a situation that is not completely broken – one where you aren’t asked to be a magician and fix it – is truly exciting for a young coach like me. My next goal is to take a team to the Final Four, and I told the people here that that was my goal. Certainly, if you can play well enough in the ACC and compete with the best teams in the ACC, then you have every opportunity to do that.“ I guess you should let him know just how wrong he was about the circumstances here. Do you think by “Final Four” he meant “Finally go to my Fourth tournament in year Fourteen”? Hmmm.🤔

Yes, I saw it. But you absolve Brownell of all responsibility where you see failings and all the credit when you perceive success (Jennings). So Brownell just had the worst luck of all time. Our highest rated class as busts? It’s not like there was Clemson bump in the rankings. Or a Purnell bump. They were ranked the same way these services always rank.

So you are taking it was just Brad’s dumb luck that he inherited some of the most poorly evaluated players in the history of rankings? And that he maximized the possibilities those players offered and the product we got on the floor in 2010-11 thru 2012-13 was as good as could be expected under the circumstances?

I’m also curious if you’re willing to call Brad a liar as casually as you throw the word around here. He was emphatic it wasn’t a rebuild. Spoke to the quality of the roster. And said he had taken over an established program and done a rebuild and that this was definitely the former. So, while expressing just how terrible those players were - I’d like you to realize you’re calling Brownell a liar.

Why can’t you just say that you think Brownell is a poor, little victim and you’re here to defend him. I think all those players passed through Brownell’s hands.

Noel johnson's best season in his collegiate career was his SR year where he started 5 games for a terrible Auburn team and averaged 4.8 points again. He never panned out at the collegiate level. Are you arguing otherwise?

I guess purnell was a god awful coach too considering milton Jennings only averaged 3 ppg while shooting 17% from 3 and 64% from the line his freshman year. Surely if he had a better coach, he would have put up better numbers being that he was a mcdonalds all american and the highest rated recruit we have ever signed.

Devin Booker ended up an all acc player, so i would say he panned out.

Of course brownell "ran off" donte hill. His best season he averaged 8 ppg on a 5-25 old dominion team.

Get outta here with this BS.

Just to be clear:

Brownell himself was wrong about his evaluation of the talent he was inheriting.
Brownell had the dumb luck that our highest ranked recruiting class were all busts.
Player development is not a coaching responsibility.
Player retention is not a coach responsibility.
Milton Jennings averaging .29 pts .04 steals .04 assists and .02 blocks per minute as a true freshman = BAD COACH
Milton Jennings averaging .35 pts .03 steals .06 assists and .03 blocks per minute as a senior = GOOD COACH (who maximized both the development and utilization of the player)

Lmao, you are an extremwly biased and pathetic "fan" that hopes our team loses because you hate brownell so much. It is very sad.

Do you think donte hill or noel johnson ever panned out at the collegiate level? They both underperformed with every coach they had at the collegiate level. I know you wont answer this question because you are a coward, but always worth asking.

And let me get this straight. You believe that milton jennings was an accurately rated 5*, and if brownell wasnt his coach, he would have performed at a 5* level and potentially made the nba? I wonder why he was such a bad shooter under purnell? I wonder why he never really figured out FTs or 3 pointers in his 3 seasons at the low level professional basketball overseas? Is it all brownell's fault? Your take on milton jennings is absolutely laughable and shows your extreme bias. It's really hard to take you seriously when speaking of basketball.

I asked you a series of questions and you couldn’t bring yourself to answer a single one? And every one of them is a logical conclusion based on your assertions. If you choose to answer those questions I will be happy to answer any resultant questions you may have.

And I don’t “hope we lose” or “hate Brownell”. These are both outright lies unsubstantiated by anything I’ve posted. If you going to make attacks based on sincere differences of opinion I’d love to see you condemn Judge Keller for his far more inflammatory attacks against our football coach. Your hypocrisy on this makes it very difficult to believe the sincerity of your position on the topic.

Personally I've always thought Brownell recruited fairly well - he's averaged close to the 40th-ranked class over the past five years. It's finishing with a 75th average final ranking over that span that has generated the disappointment - not coaching the team up to a level equal to or greater than the sum of its parts so consistently.

Your constant attacks on program funding and such to me have been slights on the players, i.e. our players today aren't good enough to win because Brad doesn't have enough resources to work with. Hopefully in this 2nd year his higher paid assistants can help him perform at a level more commensurate with the talent on hand. That would be a most welcome change for the basketball fans among us.
