Re: in High School I was scouted by Bill Guthridge of UNC

I guess that he forgot to mention that they rarely go in the hoop. While their 36% stats are essentially equal to shooting 50% from 2 point, statistics don't show the poor shot selection and when they come within the shot clock. Clemson players have traditionally shown a low basketball IQ and that falls on Brownell & his control over his players. As far as recruiting, I have seen an overemphasis on point guards in the past 2 or 3 years & when that doesn't go well, all of a sudden they become "combo" guards that can't pass OR shoot. The lack of recruiting post players also puts WAY too much emphasis on the lackluster play of guards with no back up plan in sight so far in his next recruiting class.

Brownell is a great guy, overrated as an "X and O" guy & evidently not completely trusted or respected by his players as seen in the number of exits from the program & JUCO signings.

in High School I was scouted by Bill Guthridge of UNC

for two years - never got the size or quicks to play at that level though.

But I ### sure know what a team is.

Which is more than I can say for the likes of lurkers like you on TNET - the only team you're on is your own, just like a lot of posters here. You don't post for the betterment of Clemson, you post to hear yourself think, which you apparently can't do without writing it down.

So 'splain it to me Lucy - just what button did the guys on the "team" push to go from 18 down in a sordid first half to having a good many chances to cut it to 2 or 1 in the waning minutes?

Maybe it was
- overcoming the fear to fail;
- a desire to play real defense, "man up" if you will;
- a desire to rebound and block out and generally do the dirty little things it takes to win tough games like that;
- the common sense to stop hurling up three's like they were candy to babies at a parade route, and try, somehow try to get the ball to the real scorers on the team at the wing with Blossomgame and Grantham;
- maybe it was Nnoko getting his head out of his rump and playing good defense rather than trying to block every shot;
aww, who the hail knows - not you for sure.

But I can guarantee you it wasn't Brownell somehow changing his personality in the blink of an eye.

You people are crap - you aren't for Clemson anymore than than you would be if the football team were 6-7 again.

So go gossip elsewhere... maybe the ladies hair salon or something.... better yet, FGF; they love guys like you.

Great guy to the public, but not great leader of players
