We lost out on other targets. 2011 should be a big class

We can add another for this class but missed on our high profile targets.

Clemson could sign 2 more. However, the basketball AHC (Bradley?) said in Columbia in October that OP will only sign one more this recruiting period. OP wants 3 scholarships (or more) available for the next recruiting period. There are 3 seniors on this year's team. OP is looking at 3 top 30 guards for 2011.

Talk about building a program. We could not have done better than getting Coach Purnell.
I am not buying the hype that we'll finish 3rd in the league this year - I don't see how our young guys can replace the guys we lost, but I do think we will be no worse than middle of the pack and we should be in contention for another trip to the Big Dance.

We lost Oglesby, Rivers, and Sykes.
Noel Johnson can shoot lights out too and has more height on defense than TO.
Jennings is very versatile. He can handle the ball, excellent passer, great size so can go downlow to rebound/block shots.
Devin Booker needs to get healthy but he is a huge body down low.
Donte Hill wont get as many minutes because of the guys in front of him but he is a great defender.
Tanner Smith has improved tremendously. He's a lot stronger and his outside shot looks great.
This team should be improved from last year while UNC lost most of their team, Duke is still average. Some teams like FSU have a lot of talent and GT has an outstanding freshmen. It's a tough conference but no one really stands out as the best team imo.

B/c TO's dunking abilities will certainly be missed!

The only one I know of at time is Ricardo Ratliff, a JC post player who has Clemson in final 4 or 5. He is a 4 star and won't decide till spring.
