Most likely Rome, Wise and Abraham...and then the roof caved in

Purnell's first class, 2 of Shyatt's classes.

Purnell's first class (Mays, Perry, Cheyenne Moore, Hammonds, and Troy Mathis) was ranked 22nd by Rivals.com.

At the time, their analysts (which didn't include Bob Gibbons), said the following:


Coach Oliver Purnell is looking to infuse talent in the Clemson program to keep up with the ACC powers, and his 2004 effort was a step in the right direction. Point guard Troy Mathis and shooting guard Clifford Hammonds give the Tigers a solid future backcourt. Small forwards Cheyenne Moore and Sam Perry are good athletes who run the floor and can finish. North Carolina product James Mays has a good upside. Final ranking 22.
Moore transferred to George Washington after it was rumored that he and Purnell couldn't see eye-to-eye on his role with the team - he has since been injured every year and has averaged more than 4ppg. Mathis's knee injury made him largely ineffective, he first transferred to a JuCo and wound up at Marshall.

Shyatt had two ranked classes, the 2000 and 2001 classes. The 2000 class had 3 top-100 players, Dwon Clifton (whose heart problems sent him to UNC-Greensboro), Tony Stockman (transferred to Ohio State, among rumblings that he and Ed Scott couldn't get along), and Chris Hobbs (his ranking was based on his junior year of high school, and a knee injury suffered at the end of that year limited him to well below that high ranking).

The 2001 class was ranked 18th by Hoop Soop, and the ranking built around Sharrod Ford (4th best prep school forward) and Chey Christie (ranked 36th by Prepstars, but would transfer to South Alabama after a largely unimpactful career).

Very informative post...you know your stuff. I do not think we have ever had a class like Tree Rollins, Stan Rome, and Colon Abraham...it just took brand new Monte-Carlos to get them here.

He transfered and he's gone now so I can say this....

Tony Stockman....
That guy was the worst basketball player we ever had. HE ALWAYS SHOT THE BALL THE SECOND HE GOT IT and he wasn't a good shooter. He made us so much worse. I was so glad when he left. He is the ONLY player I have ever said that about...ever.

Used to...but now they'll play in LJ

I swear LittleJohn must be on top of an Indian burial ground.

The funny thing is, the free-throw curse only affects Clemson players. Opposing teams are able to hit FT's at will.

The free-throw curse also seems to follow Clemson players on the road.

Maybe we shouldn't be so excited over our 7'1" signee after reading this excerpt from The Spartanburg Herald from today:

Facing a Veritas Christian Academy team with five players taller than 6-foot-8, Spartanburg Day School used a tenacious defense and aggressive, high octane offense to cut the Warriors down to matchstick size with a 81-55 win Tuesday night.

Facing 6-8 Sasa Borovnjak, 6-9 Allen Ebert and 7-1 Catalin Baciu, the undersized duo played like giants.

Baciu, a Clemson commitment, was a non-factor throughout the game with most of his team-high 18 points coming late.

What the article fails to mention is the foul trouble....


Nov 15, 2007, 9:46 AM

that the refs imposed on the Veritas team within the first couple of minutes of the game. Maybe you should check out the minutes played and see what the big man did when he was actually on the court.
