How about less tweeting and more working on your shooting especially free throws

Wonder what he was talking about then

I'd guess something related to the NCAA tournament or maybe a team one of his friends or family members plays on?
That or he's scrambling to cover his tracks.
Oh well, forgive and forget

Probably the cya theory. All of his tweets sound like a kid who popped off with emotion then regretted it.

I'm calling BS on him claiming he wasn't talking about Brownelll
Mar 29, 2013, 10:30 AM

Either he has no reason to apologize, or he does. He specifically mentioned a head coach that wasn't liked.
Apologizing and then denying you did anything worth apologizing for comes across, at least to me, as half azzed

He has nothing to apologize for.
If he does need to apologize he needs the quit with the "that wasn't about Brownell" junk

He's apologizing for making a statement that folks assumed to be about Brownell. He may now realize his lack of clarity caused folks to make that assumption so he's apologizing for making such a statement.
Seems to me a perfectly reasonable scenario.

I didn't see it that way, but it makes sense.
Still think he should've just followed Obeds advice and just personally apologized to Brownell and co. and let the issue die.

One thing about this generation who grew up sharing every little thing online is that quite often they don't know when to simply shut up.

to work this whole "internet" thing out.
The problem is sometimes on the internet, you are completely anonymous. When you don't link your real world self to here, Tigernet is a good example. I do link myself in my profile, so I try not to post things I wouldn't want a future employer to see. Not everyone does that. Therefore, you have some people that can post some pretty vicious stuff.
However, twitter doesn't work that way. Major athletes/celebrities treat it like they are having an intimate messaging session with their friends and forget that its linked to their athlete/celeb persona. They forget that when you use your real name on the internet, it has real world consequences. Even if you change your name on twitter to "Neil Armstrong" , if people know its Filers twitter, it will still have consequences.
People just need to realize that the internet isn't anonymous everywhere.

When I was a kid around his age, I would react from anger and feel very bad about it just a little while after blowing up. I think that anger from the way our season went pissed him off with all the junk his friends were talking about the season. Now that he has time to get himself thinking clearly, he is sorry for blowing off steam in an immature way. I'm sure by him coming out and apologizing for it, he truly regrets it. It's a new day, and all is well and good as far as I'm concerned. Anger has gotten to the best of all of us, and its doubled with kids.

he needs to better choose his words to avoid those things in the future.
you saw what it created on tnet. he can't control what crap people glean, he can however control what he tweets or puts out on social media.
i see no BS in his understanding that people follow his account and that things he puts out there can be construed in a number of ways.
nothing wrong with apologizing for not fully understanding the power of it.

But if that were the case, he probably wouldn't make ambiguous claims about disliked head coaches when his own head coach is under a ton of scrutiny right now.

team. He's 19, 1000 miles from home, and he just learned a valuable lesson. Whatever he meant in the original tweets he has put to rest and stated his views more clearly. As you stated Adonis, learn and grow. That's what college is for. Looking forward to seeing that growth on the court, and in your life, next season. We love ya back!

Does this not sound off any alarms with you guys?

Filer's apology is all well and good, but it still seems to me that his original tweet was directed towards Brownell. Why does Filer backtrack from his comments if it has nothing to do with Clemson coaching?
On that note, I am starting to get concerned with the direction this basketball program is headed. I am a firm supporter of Brownell and believe he is a great coach, but at the same time so many transfers (Noel Johnson, Stanton, Sapp, Sullivan recently etc.) during his tenure is very alarming to me. And now this comment (which may or may not be directed at Brownell; we may never know).
Where there's smoke there's fire, and I feel like Brownell is losing control of the locker room. I pray this isn't the case.

I don't care what coach he is talking about he is dead wrong. You don't play because you like the coach you play because that is what you do. For your pride! Not for a head coach that may not be here next year YOU PLAY because that is what you do. My dad worked his a$$ in a that that was hard work and not much pay. You think he liked his boss. Hec no but that job was what he did for himself and his family so he took pride in his work. I hope he is the only one that has this attitude on this team. This is an entitled attitude.

This team has slowly regressed every year since Brownell got here. Why do players keep transferring? Surely not for a lack of playing time. We only have 2 big men as of right now heading into next season. Does none of this concern you?

student athletes.
This is a society problem but these kids need to understand that they are in the limelight and everything they do and say reflects on Clemson and them.
I don't think you take it away unless the team self-imposes that but these kids need to understand ALL the implications.

for making this a bigger issue. Not all of us have all day to stalk our players on twitter and facebook. I'm surprised they have time between that and searching for tweets with POS quotes.
