Clemson is terrible!!

[TheOtherGreatOne]

I would love to be terrible enough to be 14-1

That's the coach Zion is trusting to get him correctly prepared for the league??? That's the competition Zion wants to go against everyday in practice that's going to prepare him for the league??? That's the PG Zion wants to rely on to feed him the ball and get him the production he needs to move up draft boards??? That's the roster Zion wants to play with that will only yield him seeing double teams all year???

Is it really worth risking millions & millions, just so your step father can get a coaching job for 1 season???
Seems like a massive massive gamble of his future by choosing his Clemson which is far down the list of programs I'd trust to maximize my NBA prospects

The narrative that you have to UK to get prepared for the NBA is really silly. The league is full of players that didn't play for UK. I love Cal but if you can play they will find you.

The narrative that you have to go to UK to make in the league is really off base. If you can play they will find you. How many UK players have made the NBA finals in the last 10 years? I love Cal but he is putting players in the league that very highly ranked.

No problem but Reed and Mitchell are juniors. Reed transferred from Robert Morris and Mitchell from Vandy and they had to sit out two years ago.

Can you boys just let us have one big time basketball player in my lifetime? I mean he is in our backyard and his step dad played for us. You boys sign 6 to 8 All Americas every year. Geeeez a little love for the underdog.

Send us the number 2 player in the country in football and you have yourselves a trade.:smiley:

Clemson will have a decent team next year with or without Williamson, but they won't be true contenders for an ACC title, let alone a national title.

This is a program without a single Final Four. They have one Elite Eight way back in 1980.

No tradition. No elite level coach. Despite being a P5 conference member, that would be a huge Cinderella story just to make the Elite Eight for the first time in nearly 40 years.

Let's face it, nobody serious about winning a title goes to Clemson. That's like going to UK to play football expecting to win a national title. It's just not going to happen.

That is a fair assessment. It is the one sport that we have really struggled with. We are bottom feaders in the ACC and really have no geographical area to consistently recruit. We have seen so many kids from South Carolina leave the state- UNC has raided the state through the years. Zion would be a huge pickup that we hope it would start an uptick in our recruiting.

We feel your pain.

I know you are familar with a certain Kentucky boy named Damien Harris.

He's just one of many that left the Bluegrass to play for a big dog in football.

UK beats UL by 29 at home and drops in the polls; Clemson beats UL by 5 in ot at home. Let’s see how far they drop in polls.(I bet they don’t)

If the Cats lose today, Clemson will be ranked higher come next week...

Clemson is 14-1, they're a pretty good team who could possibly make a cinderella run in the tournament this year, saying they're terrible is ridiculous, if we played them it would probably be a close game. They lose two of their top players, one of which Zion would be the replacement for, however Elijah Thomas their center could test the nba waters, he's having a good year and was a top 30 player out of high school.
