Feb 1, 2021, 4:45 PM

So what Clemson needs is a shoe company bagman instead of a new HC? Is that your point?

I’ll take an Orgeron type title in basketball.

Sadly I noticed the Yoda misquote right away as well

Quite honestly

Basketball has been a big city game for years. For many years the creme of the crop came from the playgrounds of New York and other northern cities. Over the years that has changed. Especially with the basketball Acadamys that are so prevalent now. Every year I hope to see where a kid from the Bronx or Harlem signs with the Tigers. But, as you suggest, it would be a real culture shock!

My guess is focus the recruiting to rural areas then. You can't get a better comfortable place to go in the country than Clemson, it's God's country!

This is why basketball should be more like the French Open


Feb 1, 2021, 7:46 PM

and played on clay.

That's how real men do it.

If it weren’t for the Air Force Base, it would be like an oasis on Mars, but those guys are recruited from all over the U.S.A. & Europe. Just takes a lot effort and a little luck (and a great coach) to start being a winner.

National Championship? I guess the Buffalo Bills were the best NFL team of the 1990s.

PROGRAM....not necessarily the best team


Feb 2, 2021, 10:20 AM

For the athletically impaired, the best given team may not have won a title, but that takes nothing away from what Mark Few has developed. A team can have a down game, but you can't deny overall success.

Feb 2, 2021, 10:33 AM

has won 0 National Championships because they have had down games and were beaten by teams who were not better than them 10 consecutive years?

Same thing happened to the Bills in the 90s. :(


They are a great program, and their coaches have done an amazing job, but I don’t think they are the best program over the past 10 years.

Fans and facilities win championships, not PROGRAMS.

Not too rural to draw players but apparently too rural to draw fans. Recruits notice this and back off. End of story.
