Pulling hard for Coach Brownell…


Nov 15, 2022, 10:09 PM

But I fear our captain is full steam ahead without regard for the massive iceberg in the foreground this season.

I know it’s early, and I know there is some bad basketball being played in the ACC currently. But just looking at like opponents … Duke beat USC Upstate 84-38. We beat them 81-70.

Gonna need some improvement (and this is the week for it ) and a little luck to get this team in the dance. Hoping for it. Good luck coach.

Go Tigers

I don’t think the transitive property necessarily applies there.


Nov 15, 2022, 10:13 PM

Besides, Duke has more 5 star players in their current freshman class than we’ve had in our entire basketball history at Clemson.

We aren’t really comparable to Duke.

That is the issue. Brad has not been able to land 5* guys here. If he can’t land bigtime players the result will remain the same, a very average program.

No coach in our 100+ year history has been able to land 5* guys at Clemson outside of a couple of years under Tates Locke when he bought some really good players. This means CBB is not unlike every other coach in our history. Perhaps the problem is a structural issue with Clemson Basketball given we have seen the same thing over and over through multiple coaches?

in the last 30 years.

We all know that he wasn't really a 5 star recruit. He was arguably not even a 4 star recruit in terms of his actual skills and performance.

Davis and Campbell were not 5 star recruits.

Booker was a 3 star on Rivals, not a 5 star.

Jerai Grant was a 3 star according to 247, not a 4 star.

Re: Milton Jennings is the only 5 star recruit we have signed


Nov 16, 2022, 11:36 AM [ in reply to Milton Jennings is the only 5 star recruit we have signed ]

I knew one of the Booker brothers were highly ranked but I was thinking it was Trevor, I guess it's because he played better. But Devin was top 100 (96) recruit on Rivals. Only used to look at Rivals and Scout rankings in those days.

I really thought I remembered Jerai being higher ranked but only a 3* on Rivals. I always liked him talked to him a couple times so I guess favoritism added another star, ha!

Recruiting services used stand pretty firm on top 25 players were 5* and top 100 were 4*. Have lot more players given higher star ratings now but they are probably better coming out of HS now with all the extra league play outside of school. Number wise it is easier to pick up a 4* now vs then but quality of 4* players are probably equal or better today.

49-43 while he was here, 15-33 in the ACC, and finishes between 7th and 9th in a 9-team ACC.

So even with a 5 star player who ended up being the 6th pick in the 1994 NBA Draft, with a coach who has had a successful career, that still wasn't good enough for us to make the NCAA Tournament.

Nov 16, 2022, 10:11 AM [ in reply to Re: I don’t think the transitive property necessarily applies there. ]

Recruiting at Clemson isn't a Brownell problem, it's a Clemson basketball problem.

This is why I keep going back to the importance of us funding the program better. That allows us to get better assistants, better facilities, etc., which in turn can hopefully help us get better recruits.

It's interesting, OP had less draft picks than CBB


Nov 16, 2022, 11:34 AM

Albeit 7 years in Clemson to 12(and counting) and his one and only was Trevor Booker who is our only 1st round pick in the last 28 years.

But he obviously identified underrated recruits that fit his style of play and maximized their potential in his scheme, which lead to 6 straight postseason appearances(3 straight NITs to 3 straight NCAATs) in 7 years.

Whereas, Brad has only made it to 6 in 12 years with his longest streak being 3(an NCAAT sandwiched by 2 NITs).

According to Rivals, OP didn't have higher than a 3* recruit until his last recruiting class which had Noel Johnson, Milton Jennings, and Devin Booker.

Also according to Rivals, Brad has signed 8 4* players in his tenure, including 3 in 2020(although 2 transferred out).

If Brad is so great at development, why don't we see more consistent success?

This is what's been so confusing from the Brown L camp.


Nov 16, 2022, 1:16 PM [ in reply to Which Clemson coach has landed 5 star players? ]

All these complaints about program support being what's holding Brad back yet he has recruited as well as or better from a star standpoint than his predecessors, yet gets worse, and more inconsistent, results than anyone prior since the 1980's save for Shyatt. Only KJ made it to an NBA roster in this 12 year run and that amounted to a defensive specialist role off the bench for three seasons, after passing on a 4th year of Brad's coaching.

OP spotted Brad with over 9k fans a game. Brad has turned that into 7k pretty steadily. While in person attendance is down overall in the ACC since that time, that drop is in the 6% range while ours has been in the 20% range.

Certainly happy for the W last night, but seeing what's on the floor today and harking back to many of those squads we've seen over the years prior, it's just hard to be optimistic about what lies ahead this season. As we're seeing discussed above even by the Brown L faithful, it's not a talent level issue, it's what being done with that talent.

Go Tigers.

Brad is a TERRIBLE coach because of 13 years of garbage - with a one year exception.

I realize this is a JK scok - but breaking down everything but the SCOREBOARD to try & minimize football to make our complete SUCK basketball program look better is funny - really funny.


Why is Brad a BAD coach - he has no plan or vision, and has no leadership skills to make it happen if he DID have a plan or vision - our performance when it matters - in our conference - SUCKS, our performance in the ACC Tourney - SUCKS, we don't even make it into the top SIXTY-EIGHT teams in the country - year in and year out.


He is a bad coach - in the only measurable that matters - WINS.

Based on logical parameters such as our basketball history at Clemson


Nov 16, 2022, 4:08 PM

as well as what we spend on basketball at Clemson relative to other ACC schools, we are easily where we should be after 13 years of Brownell.

In fact, an argument can be made that we have overachieved.

Those who are paid to evaluate Brad’s performance - such as the athletic director - obviously feel that he is meeting expectations. That’s why he is still our coach, having received multiple raises and extensions.

The only ones who seem to feel that Brad isn’t meeting expectations are fans who don’t understand just how poorly basketball at Clemson is typically supported.

Of course not, because Duke is not a football school, they don't have the football history we do, they don't invest in football the way we do, they don't have the facilities we do, they don't have the fan support we do, etc.

I never said that we shouldn't strive to compete with Duke in basketball. There are many examples of Brownell-coached teams being competitive with Duke in basketball. But we aren't on their level, as evidenced by the fact that they have more 5 stars in their recruiting class than we have ever had in our program's history.

Being discouraged by a double digit win over USC Upstate because Duke beat them by more isn't really productive in my opinion.

Because Brownell has had 12 years and proven that he is never going to win the ACC tournament. And apparently you are OK with that.

Re: Pulling hard for Coach Brownell…


Nov 15, 2022, 11:09 PM

While I agree that we can't compare Clemson to Duke imho tonight's game wasn't an impressive win. We had to keep our starters in just to maintain a comfortable margin. Very similar to our current fb team.

Sure, Hall looked impressive but it was against far inferior talent. Hemingway had an impressive night but he always will given the chance at uncontested 3 balls.

Our defense must improve. Anytime you let a team hit 54% ìts not good... even less so with our starters in. But, just like football, we have games to get that ironed out.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I agree, it was a comfortable win but not a dominant one.


Nov 15, 2022, 11:34 PM

I also agree that we need to clean up our defense.

I’m generally pleased with our offense so far. We share the ball well and take good shots. We had 17 assists tonight.

We must improve our free throw percentage. Just 29/45 on the year so far (64%). That’s going to cost us some games if we don’t get that up to at least 70%.

Absolutely it'll cost but I think that will resolve too once Brad settles on the regular rotation.

Glad you brought up the good point of assists. The passes seem much improved than years past. The cuts and switches seem clean especially for just 3 games in. We're putting up points too which makes for more exciting pace of play.

We need to pack the house for bellarine. Good team. It's sad to see such a sparse crowd last night.

Not sure who blindly follows or supports CBB. The thing is if we simply change coaches without other changes in the program we will get the same or worse results. Of course, we could open the wallet like we did with baseball and hire a top tier coach but unfortunately, I don't see that happening.

We all are pulling for Brad because he is one of the good guys. But let’s face the truth. If he has not gotten the job done in 12 years it is not going to start now. This team will struggle with any good team as we have already seen. Brad used to at least play good defense but that is gone now. We play a little better on offense but good teams can shut that down. We will have another BB coach next year. I hope Graham does as good a job in that as he did with Baseball. There is 0 excitement among BB fans from what they have already seen. Losing to the coots with their team was a disgrace. I hope and pray I have to eat my words.
