Ja Morant


Jan 17, 2022, 9:26 PM

A huge Clemson fan. Leading vote getter for NBA all-star team. Offered by Frank Martin at SC.

Not offered by Brownell who had "no scholarships available". Not much else to say in terms of identifying local talent.

all I know is you never hear of this problem at an SEC school

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-74tiger.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah he was a 2 star...


Jan 17, 2022, 9:32 PM

Recruit...

But there are plenty of good mid major coaches that are ready for high major jobs that would identify a good player who is being under recruited.

Brad never has looked at recruits that were not at least considered 3 star potential. He has always been afraid of the consequences...

Yeah he was a 2 star... that could “sky”. No excuse…

Not identifying enormous potential when it’s in your backyard.

I have mentioned this before as I have additional insight about the topic at hand. Ja wanted to go to Clemson but BB went with a coaches son instead. Bad decision by BB. He did reach out to Ja after his freshman season at Murray St., but so did everyone else at that time and he honestly didn’t need a big school by that time. We missed out, but hopefully we’ll take a second look at our local talent next time around.

Reaching out after he’s at another school is a recruiting violation

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wonder how many coaches saw him play in AAU?


Jan 17, 2022, 10:16 PM

Easy answer all of em. Dude was on Zion’s AAU team yet none of the big schools offered him until Martin very late in the game. I guess Roy, K, and Cal don’t have any talent evaluation skills either. What about Wofford, Furman, and Cof C? He ended up at Murray st because everyone missed on him not just Brownell. Hell it’s not like he was a legacy like Curry at VPI.

The no offer must have been due to facilities and fan support. ????***

Perhaps someone on staff was dating someone he knows. That’s apparently a valid excuse not to offer a kid per JK and actually happened.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's quite possible we could've had Ja and Zion for one year


Jan 17, 2022, 10:42 PM

Brownell could be in Legendary status mode had that happened.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Nothing to say, other than the fact that we overlooked him.***
