I too will be excited if we:
- stop getting pushed around inside
- can start making free throws
- reduce t/o's
I believe in BB, but dang, last season was a bi-atch to watch. It will take some good wins to get those images out of my mind. Good luck Brad.

I don't remember being too upset about the number of turnovers.
The timing of them seemed to be awful.
I think we had one game where we only had six turnovers and still lost!

There's a new Pope. Lots of people talking while waving their hands around. Lots of really old buildings still there.

Clemson hoops will get early start on 2013-14 with summer trip to Italy
10-day tour will include games against four professional teams, 10 extra practice days
By Kerry Capps
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
The Clemson men's basketball team will be getting an early start this summer.
The Tigers will leave August 8 for a 10-day tour Italy, which will include games against four Italian professional teams.
Under NCAA rules, Brad Brownell's team will get 10 practices prior to the trip.
A recent study has shown that international travel, which is permitted once every four seasons, has a significant positive impact for the teams taking advantage of the opportunity.
A sample of 27 teams that took international tours between 2006 and 2010 showed that they won, on average, two more games than in the season preceding the trip.
The international experience is particularly valuable for teams blending newcomers into their core lineup groups.
If freshmen are declared eligible by the NCAA and complete summer school classes, they’re allowed to practice and compete on the trip.
Clemson has four newcomers arriving this summer: freshmen Sidy Djitte, Patrick Rooks and Austin Ajukwa, plus junior college center Ibrahim Djambo. Also, the Tigers have a redshirt freshman, Jaron Blossomgame, who has practiced with the team, but has not yet played, and a sophomore, Devin Coleman, who will be working his way back into the mix after missing all of last season with an Achilles tendon injury.

Bobo could've been very good with 5 years under this staff instead of 2.

If they are both project players we will be in trouble once again.

What bigs do we normally get that are not project players?
Grant? Sykes? Bobo? Sharod Ford? Younger Book?
Of our Big men the past 5-8 years we have had ONE that came in not as a full project. That was Trevor Booker.
Not sure why some of you struggle to get that through your skulls. We are not Duke or UNC we have zero tradition and an arena that ranks near the bottom of the league. We will not recruit on their level until we actually show we give a #### about Clemson Basketball.

we haven't had many foreign bigs. Bobo, Mohammed Woni, I don't consider Iturbe a big. Jurkunas either as they were perimeter players. Whatever the guys name who stayed 4 years under Purnell(Petrokonis?) was a bust.

Anyone else worried about Blossomgame?

I really hope he comes back 100% but it seems to be taking longer than coach projected.
