Grantham

Remember Grantham last year. Pretty good. Really good for a freshman at Clemson. Now after one year of our "coaching" he is awful. It's just not the lack of recruiting, it's also coaching. I hate to say it, but you can't deny it. And yes, I am a season ticket holder and attend most games.

But I never really thought he was that great. He seems to chuck up a lot of 3's to me.
Also thought he was pretty inconsistent. I do however think he could be really good.
As for Brownell coaching him into a worse player, I think he's done a pretty decent job coaching players, I feel like most players usually improve from year to year.
I still stand by my thought that Brownells biggest issue is the lack of an ability to recruit. I'm not a "Brownell supporter" , I'm a Clemson basketball supporter and I want what is best for Clemson. I feel like if I were the one making the decision, I'd give him 2 years after littlejohn is done to see if that improves recruiting

Some would argue purnell could recruit.
I'm not saying we were a recruiting powerhouse before Brownell, we are a football school after all (meaning all our resources were going to football).
The fact that you're saying who has ever been able to recruit to Clemson should say something shouldn't it?

I'm a Clemson supporter and rarely offer opinion on coaches. I try to be positive of the players and coaches. But, in this case, DRad needs to do what he did in baseball. Upgrade facilities need to be combined with a fresh start at the head coaching position. Brad will be taken care of financially with a $5 million buy out. Just look at LittleJohn costing us $68.5M instead of $63.5M.

I think if/when Brownell is fired

You have to go make a big hire, like throwing money at people. If we're making a commitment to basketball we need to show it

I agree totally, but it will be hard to get a winner who is

currently in a good situation. He is now in his 60's I think, but could Barnes be bought back?

Nnoko is better than when he arrived isn't he?
How about rod hall? Sidy djitte? Josh Smith? All have gotten better since getting here, I'm not claiming he's making them stars, just improving them

I would hope every player that comes in as a freshman leaves a better player as a senior. BUT, relative to competition they are not keeping up. That is a direct result of a lack of player development. Don't be foolish.

Yep I still haven't seen where the X's and O's are that great either.
