PJ Hall

Ran into this nice young Clemson Man in the grocery store this morning. Said he got the boot off his foot yesterday and it feels good. Not running yet but taking “baby steps” for now. He seemed positive and it sounded like good news to me.

Great news. Thanks for sharing. Hall is one of those rare players that just defines what I love best about Clemson athletics.

Hall reminds me a lot of a "hometown hero" basketball

player from back in my day, Bamberg-Ehrhardt's own Wayne Croft. But, it took Wayne until about his senior year at Clemson to remake his body and his game enough to be an adequate ACC basketball player. PJ Hall made that jump in only a year.

Wayne had Tates Locke and Bill Foster as coach. I was there sitting in the rebel rouser seats, student section right behind the bench. Great memories.

I always wanted to know, just what did it take to get in

those seats? No matter HOW early I ever got to a game, they were already full. I figured it was a snooty "Greek Life" frat thing, like them always being first in line for student football tickets back in the day.

and I sat on the front row of those old bleachers several times. I was right behind Frank McGuire of Usuc one of those nights, and Sandy Edge, who years later became head of the ROTC, walked up to McGuire and handed him a white "crying towel".

Played with the Snake at Walterboro his sophomore year. He was only 6'8"thjen and hard for those of us, who were under 6', to block because he would step over us at the usual blocking level.

No. This was a conversation between two optimists. Didn’t see the sky falling anywhere around us.
