Women’s Basketball commits updated

I know this post is unusual, but with the recent coaching change I only see one firm commit when back in January Clemson apparently had two excellent guards indicate they planned to attend Clemson.
One was Mercedes Staples out of Utah (2018), the other Williamson from Spring Valley locally (2019). We need to keep both as recruits so I am hoping Coach Butler has contacted both.
While I recognize the sport is not high on our radar so to speak I would enjoy knowing the best site for women’s sports recruiting covering basketball in particular. Any suggestions welcomed.
Go Tigers!

For Tiger posters - This post is real! I’ve been a Clemson fan for virtually all sports for fifty plus years and some attitudes on this board need to change because your negativity is getting old.
What I post is my own interest and if anybody doesn’t share those interests then simply don’t read or bother to reply.
Go Tigers!

It was tongue in cheek. I know you were serious, and I appreciate your longstanding and dedicated fandom to everything Clemson! Even still, I can't help but chuckle at the thought of actively discussing women's basketball recruiting. Maybe you're just an even bigger fan than I am!
I agree that the negativity around here gets to be unbearable at times. I guess that's to be expected when we have tasted success like we have lately. People need to see the bigger picture!
Happy Friday to you, RRFTigerFan !

Thx. I answered late at night after a difficult week. I still think posts need to keep things balanced. I remember Coach Davis having a successful program and it is time to step up and rebuild the program.
Go Tigers!

ESPNW and Prospectsnation.com are fair sites. Neither are very complete. The best way I've found is doing your own google searches. Staples has been granted a partial release and is looking at other schools. She hasn't ruled out Clemson but I doubt she comes here. Smith also had commitments from a SC forward and a Michigan guard but I haven't seen anything on their status since the change in coaches happened.

While women's basketball will never be big in my eyes and I would never watch it but you have t admit that y'all want every sport at Clemson represented well, right? I know while women's basketball isn't high on my list though I want it to do well I am very excited about the prospects of having a women's softball team.

field teams in women's sports, (and Title IX pretty much mandates it) then we should strive to be successful in all of them. In addition, the Coots having ANYTHING they can brag about as being better than us is totally unacceptable. So, yes, we should get behind the new Womens basketball coach. She, and the gals are part of CLEMSON and deserve all our support. Trivialize the USuK womens basketball success all you want, but when they put 14,000 fannies in the seats, that is money generated for the university. We should be capable of fielding a team that will fill Littlejohn to watch good basketball as well.

It is evident on our board that many give scant online interest toward or support of women’s sports at Clemson so I would ask those who downplay their involvement the following:
How would your daughter feel if you displayed your bias toward just men’s sports and she had a scholarship in a sport at Clemson?
We need to discuss and support all sports at Clemson. I for one would like a feature article in the dead period on Women’s Basketball and also Softball. Mods how about these for those of us interested.
Go Tigers!
