David,
I wasn't aware that Blossomgame was sitting out the first part of the year fo further heal. I understand he played in the scrimmage agains UNCC. Are you sure he will sit out to begin with? Thanks for verifying!

I knew he couldn't play in Italy, but I thought Brownell and Blossomgame both said at the time that he would be ready for training camp.

Clearly the expectation was that Blossomgame would be able

to go when the season started, so it is a big disappointment if that is not the case. He was the star recruit of his class, and if he is as good as many were hoping, every day he is unable to play is a serious blow to our snake-bit program. It must be terribly frustrating for him.
From June 25th: "It's not a necessity, but it was determined that if I want to be 100% by November, the surgery's the best thing to do"
http://www.tigernet.com/story/recruiting/Blossomgame-undergoes-leg-surgery-Tuesday-11791
From July 30th, just after the second surgery: He had surgery on June 25th in which bone marrow was taken out of his hip and added to the bone in his leg to promote healing and growth. Blossomgame told TigerNet that he has no soreness, and should be cleared to play soon. He said he expects to be cleared for full workouts at least a month before practice begins for the season.
http://www.tigernet.com/update/player/Blossomgame-injury-update-11776
From 2 days ago: The forward spot is also bolstered by a player back from injury in 6-foot-7 Jaron Blossomgame, who was considered Clemson's top prospect in the 2012 class but also missed last season with a broken leg.
Brownell said both are healthy and ready to go when the Tigers open play Nov. 8 at home against Stetson.

Age-old principles stated here by the athletes

there was a time when freshmen didn't play at all, anywhere. Old-schoolers still believe that freshmen need to come in, adjust to new conditions and environment, observe, work out, mature their bodies and minds, and play beginning their sophomore years. That's in all the major sports. It's pretty much a lost concept these days, but still has deep validity.
Have a great season, boys, you deserve big things after your patience.

It was in the article when first posted today. It has now been removed. Everything else I have read says he is ready to go.

Excellent! Jaron looks great. You can tell he worked hard

in the weight room. I can definitely see us bringing him along, not just because of the injury but because of the 18 month layoff as well. He will have an adjustment period but he and Djambo are keys this year. Need them to hold their own

out for the season. He could've been an additional deep shooting threat to open up the inside lane.
