Brownell's style of play....


Mar 19, 2015, 12:59 PM

will not attract the players we need to take the program to the next level.

Good players don't want to play tough defense, then walk it up the court and pass it 10 times trying to get an easy look.

Our football recruiting hit another level once Chad Morris got here and we started showcasing players like Tajh and Sammy in a high powered offense.

We need that even more so for a basketball program that doesn't have a rich tradition.

Yea we see how much Bama and LSU struggle in recruiting.

Also doesnt change the fact that recruiting picked up with the completion of the WEZ.

Even when Rich Rod was here and we were tossing the ball around like no other our recruiting was not on this level.

Clemson has not.

You're more delusional than I thought.

Just answer this question-

Would players like DW, Ray Ray Mcloud, Deon Cain, Artavis Scott have signed with Clemson if we didn't run the type of offense we do?

I realize there are other great things about Clemson that attract players but the main attraction is the opportunity to play in our offense.

Clemson ran the HUHN with Woody here and our recruiting was not great. Clemson's recruiting did not start to turn the corner until the WEZ was completed.

That is a fact.

You're the one that is ignoring the point of this post, and that is that Brownell has not and can not recruit the type of players he needs to be successful.

Your excuse is the facilities, so I say again:

OP was able to bring in better athletes with the same limitations.

What's changed?

No that is not your argument at all.

You are saying his style is the reason for it. You tried to say the reason Clemson Football recruits well is the HUHN... I proved that to be false. Now you are trying to deflect again.

Basically I have found debating with you easy once again. It always is when the competition is not very intelligent.

Re: Brownell's style of play....

Lol. How did you prove that to be false?

Do you really believe when high school athletes see the touches and exposure our playmakers get in our offense that doesn't factor in to them choosing Clemson?

OP's style is what made him successful at Clemson. If not then what was it?

Again, the facilities and tradition was no different than it is now.

Actually it is worse, but that's Brownell's fault.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Brownell's style of play....


Mar 19, 2015, 3:30 PM

LOL try to keep up, he proved that our football recruiting was not as good as it currently is while running HUNH under Rich Rod.

You are attempting to make the point that recruiting is better while running a certain style so lets take a look at that.

According to Rivals:

OP recruited - 2 2*s, 21 3*s, 2 4*s, and 1 5* during his time in tiger town. an average of 3.07*s

Brownell has recruited - 13 3*s, 2 4*s and 1 not ranked due to being CC(djambo) an average of 3.13*s not including djambo. 2.93*s if you include a 0 for djambo.

Seems to me recruiting overall is about the same. So this belief that you have that scheme equals better recruits is simply NOT true.

I never said OP recruited highly rated players.

What I said was he recruited better ATHLETES to run his system.

You gonna sit here and tell me those tournament teams under OP werent much more talented that what we have now?

And guess what?

THE FACILITIES WERE THE SAME THEN AS THEY ARE NOW.

Those players were attracted to the up and down style of play.

Maybe you should educate yourself a little bit and go look at the types of players OP recruited and then get back to me.

Keep in mind you pointed out that OP left Brownell with the best Clemson class ever so that leads us to believe that you equate * rankings with "good players"

Mar 19, 2015, 4:58 PM

Brownell needs "basketball" players for his style to be effective. We're not getting those recruiting against Duke and UNC and the rest of the ACC.

With OP's style he was able to attract better athletes that gave us an edge.

If you think a renovated basketball arena is suddenly going to allow Brownell to bring in the players we need to compete night in and night out then more power to you, but it aint happening.

I called 5 years ago and was flamed, and now there's still a few of you hanging on.

Again with talking in circles....this has nothing to do with your original post where you were equating a high powered offense with better recruiting which I proved is not the case. Since you seem to think op had a high powered offense. His recruiting over his tenure here is no better than what brownell has done.

You are not comparing apples to apples. Football is totally different.In basketball you have to have players buy in to your defensive philosophy because those same offensive players have to play defense as well. It's not like you can sub defense for offense between every possession. He can win you just have to shoot the ball better. Look at UVA.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Here's what you're missing . . .


Mar 19, 2015, 1:27 PM

Good players don't want to play tough defense, then walk it up the court and pass it 10 times trying to get an easy look.

Passing it 10 times before getting (hopefully) an open look has very little to do with Brownell's "style", and everything to do with the fact that we don't have players capable of getting or creating good looks. It's a talent/recruiting issue more than anything else.

Our football recruiting hit another level once Chad Morris got here and we started showcasing players like Tajh and Sammy in a high powered offense.

We don't have any basketball players like Tajh and Sammy in football to showcase. Not even close. We had McDaniels last year, but showcasing him would have been like trying to showcase Sammy without a Tajh. Again, it's a talent/recruiting issue, not a "style" problem.

First, it's a mistake to see our terrible offense and lack of shooting/scoring and assume that that is "Brownell's style". We look that way because we don't have players capable of shooting and scoring and creating offense. We HAVE to play great defense to have a chance. I guarantee we would play much faster and score more and more often if we had better players, and Brownell's style would be perceived much differently and would not be questioned. Secondly, many, many great, very successful coaches stress defense. Great defense does not have to come at the expense of the offense; almost all good teams have both, but of course, almost all good teams have multiple players that can shoot and score.

The problem you fellas that defend Brownell and claim he's such a great coach always run into (although it doesn't seem to hold you back) is that the guy we had before was able to recruit better athletes with the same limitations Brownell has now.

The type of players Brownell needs to be successful aren't looking at Clemson, they are looking at Duke and UNC. OP was able to get better athletes (not necessarily better basketball players) because of the up tempo style of play.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ultimately, Brownell is as good or bad as his record.


Mar 19, 2015, 2:04 PM

I do like Brownell, and I think he's a good coach, but I'm only invested in him to the extent he builds the program and wins. He has underachieved in my mind, so far at least, and will have to do better quickly if he is gonna stay. So, I'm not trying to "defend" him, I'm just pointing out the facts as I see them. It's funny that you use Duke as an example, because coach K has always been a defense first guy and illustrates my point perfectly. The reason his teams are better on offense and score more is simply because he has better players. His style is very similar, if not identical to Brownell's.

Completely flawed argument. We wouldn't NEED those players if we were running a power offense. We would instead be heavy on star Rbs and OL and a pro style qb. You have to have players to fit the system you run. Hard to recruit 10 wr when you play 2 at most at one time.

And mentality comes into play too. Would have to recruit hard nosed tough kids and not finesse athletes. Wouldn't hold up to the daily pounding of those practices.
