That's a tough question given the low expectations people

have. We graduates, fans and football players know it as God's Country. It would be strange if kids from those same areas thought it wasn't simply because they are basketball players and not football players.
Hmmmmm. I don't know if "easier" is the right word, but I certainly think it's doable.
I'm going to say yes, I do.

recruit at Clemson is the perception that is created by our lack of tradition.
I don't buy the excuse that most good basketball players are inner city kids who wouldn't want to come to a place in the sticks like Clemson. First, there are plenty of great high school basketball players that don't come from the inner city, or even near big metro areas. Secondly, while the idea that being in or near a major metro area is an advantage has some merit, many, if not most good basketball programs in those areas recruit very well far beyond their own backyards, sometimes getting most of their good players from quite far away.
Once we accept that there is no inherent reason that good basketball players would not come to Clemson, then the question becomes, "what do we have to do to attract better players and improve our program", and then, "are we willing to do it?".

The big problem he has recuiting is that the previous coach had made all the AAU coaches mad and they blackballed DePaul
