This team has 5 of our top 20 all time recruits

If you include Mack who would have been a top 10 seeing he was a 4 star. I don't think many teams that we play or have played are more talented than we are. I see all these post about our effort and that we play good team ball but we are not skilled. That just isn't true. Our starters and bench player for player looked more athletic and skilled than Cuse in my eyes. Not sure why this team was expected to be so bad. This is arguably the most talented team we have had.

Expectations were low because the highest rated players on the team are either transfers or freshmen.
I think everybody has high hopes for the freshmen but don't expect Clemson basketball recruits to be ready for ACC play immediately.
I also think Clemson fans have fairly low expectations for transfer players because we have seen that they didn't work at other schools and we feel like we are settling for somebody else's leftovers at best.
Some of Brownell's transfers have turned out to be really good players for us, but I think Clemson fans typically want to see it on the court before we believe it will happen.

I feel like we have had good success with the guys who come early in their career and stay with the team 2 or 3 years.
I don't feel like we have had a ton of success with older transfers with the exception of a guy filling a small role off of the bench.
That is just going off of memory and my feeling. Statistics may not support how I feel about that.
I thin Mack is the main one people looked at and questioned taking a guy who had bounced around and how he would work for us.

He said we have success with guys that come early and stay a few years. Mack is only here for 1 year.

I understand for sure and losing Mitchell, Reed, and Thomas who were our core was scary. Newman, Simms, and Mack are arguably a better trio tho. I wouldn't say they are right now but talent wise they may be.

We may be talented, but there was a lot of wounded talent at the beginning of the season, and we had to play the bench of lesser talent and no depth, IMO!!!

Then we have next year's recruiting class too. Brad is starting to see the benefits of the facility upgrade as well as getting past the lost recruiting year of playing in Greenville.

Talent wise we ARE good

I think the argument is the WAY we play
Enough of that has been said, but one day we're beating Duke, Cuse look'in good ... then we play an "ok" team and lose by 10...
