Clemson is in true need of a big. Big guys that could actually play gave Clemson fits. Definitely need one.

From Fairborn Ga. you would expect that they offered and know him well.

Wow. Didn’t see that coming.

That kid is a good player, and seemed to be a UNC guy.

Let's get him!

He might have to get used to going to class, though.

He comes from a family of Georgia Bulldogs***

Wow! He was really developing late too. I thought there other bigs were turning pro, but I guess not. Yeah think he will end up in SEC.

Time for him to get some class. Unc and Uga. We could help him

BB clearly does not believe in the inside game. The past 2 years we have played our best player (a true 3) as a 5.
We have had a couple of developmental centers, but then they get no court time or offense that goes inside and they transfer out. We have 1 center on the team and he played a whopping 33 minutes all season. (12 of those were against SC State). None of the 3 recruits for next year are centers. 1 is a power forward. The other 2 are guards.
When was the last season Clemson had a rim / inside enforcer/protector?
When was the last season Clemson developed a center?
Who was the last center recruit that BB did anything with?
2020 pj hall (forward)- 209 minutes - played 2 minutes against Rutgers and 6 against Miami.
2018 x Trey Jemison - 240 minutes - #28 center - transferred out.
2015 legend robertin - 97 minutes - #6 center in the country - transferred out

If you are a big man - why would you come just to sit, not get playing time and not be developed?

In order to compete with decent power 5 teams, you must have a post presence. Then, they can kick out to shoot the 3s. Balance.

He’d never come to Clemson with our crappy facilities and fans

He must be looking for a downgrade in facilities if he's leaving UNC.

Actually, Tar Hole facilities aren't great. When Zion Williamson was being recruited he said that Clemson's new practice facility was better than UNCs.
They are working on building a better one...

Kessler headed to Gonzaga.

Re: 7-1 Walker Kessler will leave UNC, enter the transfer portal


Mar 23, 2021, 4:15 PM

It's a really odd transfer as he was likely going to be the focal point of our offense next season (with our other bigs likely departing). Kessler has a tremendous upside and is a great kid. I can see him exploding next season.

Unfortunately, dad didn't like the way Roy brought him around slowly this season. By the end of the season, however, he was putting up excellent games (ND and FSU in particular) and his playing time was way up. Dad wants Kessler to be a stretch 5 and hang out on the perimeter and shoot 3s.

Likely headed to the Zags or AU.

Also, potential mass transfers at UNC is reason why they might be interested in Lucas Taylor and why he got out of his LOI and wants to be a Tar Heel.. Just a rumor but interesting if it comes true.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

oh, so


Mar 23, 2021, 5:45 PM [ in reply to Re: 7-1 Walker Kessler will leave UNC, enter the transfer portal ]

he has one of THOOOOSE dads......makes a lot of sense. but I'm sure his dad knows a lot more about basketball than a guy with 3 national championships and a .750 winning percentage lol.

Yep what is going on these days? Can you imagine coaching in this entitled kids, crazy parents age?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

don't have to imagine it


Mar 23, 2021, 10:02 PM

I've seen it. travel baseball parents are the worst. you should see the dads when any scout shows up. I just want to tell them, "he's not here for your kid clocking a whopping 75 mph.....he's here for the 6'4 sophmore hitting #### missiles off him to the parking lot."

I actually sat near a scout once and I didn't even realize he was till we started talking. the dude had to resort to showing up to games in tshirts and jeans just to keep from being harassed by those vultures lol.
