The overreacting here about Dawes transferring is predictable.


Apr 5, 2022, 3:11 PM

I am disappointed that he is transferring. I like him as a player and was expecting significant minutes and continued improvement from him next year.

But may I suggest we wait to see how things shake out before posting more negative stuff about our program? It’s really not helpful.

The transfer portal door swings both ways. Whether you like him or not, Brad is excellent at using the portal and making sure that we have a net gain each year from it. Let’s see what our backcourt looks like in October before we freak out, okay?

I anticipate we will all be pleased - assuming we can actually be objective about it.

Don’t forget, in addition to potential transfers, we have a 6’6” incoming freshman PG who will be able to help too.

Besides the transfer class of Mitchell, Reed, and Thomas there have never been significant contributors from transfers in the Portal. Collins and Bohannon were role players in the portal. for Clemson to make the NCAAT next year, Clemson needs a very good PG similar to Mitchell when he was healthy. When that happens, let me know...

I do hope we can get some contributors from the portal, but regardless we are looking at another .500 season next year at best. I had high expectations for this year that didn't pan out, so I am going to temper any positive expectations for next year.

Wow, what a ridiculous post. Collins was not a role player this year. He was a starter, our 3rd leading scorer, our leading rebounder and top assist man.

So he's a role player, but honor and dawes were stud contributors huh?

Technically, Reed and Mitchell were in a different transfer class than Thomas. They happened to finish at the same time, but they transferred in (and became eligible at different times). Reed and Mitchell came in with Legend Robertin, and Thomas came in with David Skara.

Other transfers (other than Reed, Mitchell, Thomas) that were pretty meaningful contributors:

Demarcus Harrison
David Skara
Mark Donnal
Jonathan Baehre
Nick Honor
Tevin Mack
David Collins

We've also had good role depth from guys like Curran Scott, Naz Bohannon, Khavon Moore, Javan White.

their transfers do not bother me!!! They did their best for our cause, but neither was the caliber of players we need to improve. Both were liabilities on defense due to size and ability . . . and in a few cases effort. One was a blatant weakness as a turnover magnet . . . especially in the closing moments of close games.

I expect our guard play to improve . . . possibly even drastically!!!

doesn’t encourage some players to seek “greener pastures”, especially when he knows their abilities don’t measure up to what is needed.

As much as I disagree with Rick Neuheisel, he has one recurring comment that is so true .. . and it is, “It’s not the recruits you miss out on that hurt your program . . . It’s the ones you get that don’t pan out.”

I am convinced that every coach, to some degree, encourages kids to “move on” . . . be it for their sake and playing time, or for the coach’s need for better talent.

Just an old man’s opinion . . .

Except if you are going to encourage those with limited abilities to transfer you might just want to have someone to on hand to replace them. A plan.

Let's do a golf analogy here. you want to encourage your caddie to move on. okay, i get it. Something though tells though me you have a new caddie ready to go the next day. A plan.

Every player who has ever started a game is a key player to a program that has done as little and consistently developed as little depth as Clemson. If you remember their name they were a key player. You’re trying to play this both ways while punching down at others for doing it. Collins was a key player. Dawes was also. Others in this thread are claiming Brad gave him the secret hand sign that he needed to move on because he’ll be seeing less time next year. It’s just stupid. You and JK went to the mat that this team would be better because of the transfers. JK, in this thread, is insisting this team was better because of transfers. We only graduated one significant player and JK insisted his replacements were better. Yet this team took a dramatic step backwards as most of us who follow both college basketball generally and Clemson specifically knew it would. Yet here you and JK are again doubling down that everything is fine and will be yet again, even better. It’s not fine. It’s not getting better. A deep, dark hole is being dug for the next guy. I’m sure Neff truly believes he’s doing the right thing - I have to believe it because we’re gonna be stuck with him awhile. But he’s dead wrong if he thinks there is anything that he can do in one off season to turn this ship around. The stink is on this coach and it isn’t going away no matter how much you, JK, Cobbox, and FutureDoc take umbrage at it.

Apr 5, 2022, 5:12 PM [ in reply to Re: Oh, also I thought that Brad's players love playing for him? ]

I can't argue with anything you said ..... and I like Brad Brownell. But at some point you really have to be honest and ask if the program is really getting any better. I think at best we tend to move laterally. It is discomforting to see upstarts, like Virginia Tech, who has no real pedigree as a basketball school, win the ACC Championship, when we have never really even sniffed it. Maybe I am ok with not winning it, but I sure would like to be competitive, which we are not and really have never been on a consistent basis. I was an OP fan, not particularly because he had great teams, but because his teams were at least fun to watch. Brad's teams are tough to watch, especially when it seemed his only focus was holding other teams to 52 points ..... usually when we scored 48. Maybe going back to the four corners offense would have suited him better.

What I really want is for Brad to succeed, even mildly ..... NIT about every year and NCAAs every few years. That would at least be a start. All of that said, I am extremely grateful for the young men that want to come here and give it a shot .... and particularly the ones who understand our culture is different and want to be a part of it for four or five years. I wish the best of luck to those who depart because they see a better opportunity elsewhere.

Losing these two guards has to hurt and I do not agree that our transfer have all been upgrades.

However, he is the coach and I am looking forward to the make up of the team for 2022/2023.

Still think missing on uncovering the Richard kid with the orange family speaks volumes to this staffs inability to project. This kid after ONE year is on everybody’s radar.

When/if we ever make a change maybe we should look at the Belmont coach since he ‘developed’ Will Richard in ONE year.

But, with 12 years of history as our guide, recruiting guys who make immediate impacts while elevating our team is uncommon.

As we know, recruiting/transfers is the lifeblood of a program. As recruiting goes, so goes the future of the program. Hard to conclude that these recruiting losses help our team.

It just feels like more of the same from a recruiting/transfer perspective, which likely means more of the same from a team performance perspective next year.

We need to wait and see if the departures benefit us or hurt us. Brad deserves time to get some players from the portal before getting chastised here.

Based on his history, we should be encouraged that the players who are brought in to replace Honor and Dawes will be upgrades. But we don’t know. We have to wait and see.

Jumping on Brad about this now before the ink has dried on the transfer paperwork only shows that you guys are anti-Brownell to a fault.

Re: The overreacting here about Dawes transferring is predictable.


Apr 6, 2022, 10:17 AM

Brad's average recruiting class ranking has been 38th over the past four years, a very decent number for our program over that span. It's tough to fathom in any way how our team is actually better than that number with the transfers we've brought in to replace those that have left considering our performances on the court.

If the OP's point that we improve with transfers is accurate, then Brad is clearly squandering what should be a more talented roster than the numbers imply. He is doing less with more.

Now, please give us a pep talk about our baseball program and how we are better off with Monte than Jack.

Discuss how our preseason sluggers are going through a slump and how it's not uncommon for a slump to last for half of the season and how a strikeout is better than a single according to analytics.

Please explain the silver lining in getting swept by UCONN at home in a regional and how it's not uncommon that we can't seem to advance from a regional if we even make it.

Follow that up with the rationalizing the inconsistencies in our starting pitching and why we always lose if we don't score the first run.

Dawes probably transferred because of my post about Brownell’s salary.

I'm not terribly surprised by Dawes' transfer.


Apr 5, 2022, 5:28 PM

As an incoming 4-star who showed a lot of potential as a freshman his career here has kind of stagnated since. Hopefully it turns into a win/win.

Go Tigers.

They keep score in games and tally wins vs losses. No need to be objective about it.

to recruit a true, impact freshman. And the 6'6 guard was recruited as a wing

Why do you think Dawes did not thank CBB in his Twitter note?
Gotta be some bad blood to omit the coach.

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep I agree. I noticed he didn’t


Apr 5, 2022, 10:01 PM

mention Brownell either. That’s pretty telling. I have been reading the posts on tigernet for a long time. I just cannot believe anyone is still defending Brownell. My lord give it up. I wish him well but we need a change now. We’ve needed it for a minimum of 3 years. I know we don’t have everything in place to be successful but hopefully Neff will work on that. There are coaches out there who have done more with far less than we have to offer and they are also making much less money than Brad. I want Clemson to be successful in every sport and I support the basketball program. We don’t live near Clemson so we can’t attend many games but try to attend a few a year. I support football more because it’s my favorite sport.

Good Lord, your mother-henning of Brad is comical...


Apr 5, 2022, 11:20 PM

...at this point. No one could possibly look at Honor and Dawes transferring as a net positive but you. So we're supposed to wait and see who Brad brings in from the portal before being concerned? It's just wait til next year, oh and wait til the next year, and then wait until the next year after that, ad nauseaum. It's an old and tired narrative, and many of us are done with it. Sorry, but that's the truth.

What's predictable is:

(A) Starters leaving our program, and
(B) Your post

Agree that Dawes being out opens the door for someone better coming in via portal. Want the tall freshman to contribute right away, but I’m pretty skeptical. Looking like a lot more pt for chase hunter, who emerged as best guard on team. Need to pluck a shelton mitchell type guy. I’m definitely way more down on what brad’s done at clemson than you are but hipe he comes up big with some backcourt transfers and puts together a team that is on par with or better than the 17-18 team that made the sweet 16
