be in Clemson.
http://newsstand.clemson.edu/graduation-spotlight-oglesby-finishes-what-he-started/ Graduation spotlight: Oglesby finishes what he started Terrence Oglesby was taking summer courses at Cleveland State Community College when he made a phone call that would change his life.
His professional basketball career almost assuredly in the rearview mirror, Oglesby reconnected with his academic advisor during his days as an undergraduate student at Clemson University.
“It was the summer of 2017 and I was back home in Tennessee,” he said. “I called Leslie Moreland — who’s an absolute angel — and asked what courses I could take that would be transferable to Clemson. It was important for me to graduate from Clemson.
“And that’s when she told me about Tiger Trust.”
A program that wasn’t formalized until Moreland’s boss Steve Duzan and colleague Barbara Kennedy-Dixon from athletic academic services took ownership of it a few years back, Tiger Trust is designed to give student-athletes who leave Clemson in good standing early for a professional career an opportunity to return and finish his or her degree.

I remember a certain football coach with no head coaching experience that worked out pretty well for us. I'm neither advocating for keeping or firing coach BB, but would rather see TO get a shot than some "big name" coach with baggage.

this will not be popular, but if Texas parts ways with Shaka

I think he would be a great hire for Clemson. Young, energetic, has had success, former staff member, exciting brand of play, would be able to recruit here.
I'm probably in the minority, but I think that is one we should jump at should he be available.

Neither Smart nor Wade will ever return to Clemson.

Shaka did great at VCU, but that is a mid-major program with outstanding history and support. It is much easier to win there than at Clemson. My concern is that at a high major program like Texas, with excellent funding and support, in a state loaded with basketball talent, he is just 66-66. They have finished no higher than 4th in the Big XII, and that was his first year at Texas with Rick Barnes's players. In the years since, they have finished 10th, 6th, and 6th.
Why should Clemson get a coach who has proven after four years at Texas that he is the definition of average? For reference, Brad has won 57% of his games here, at a school with a far worse basketball history and much less financial and fan support than Texas, and based on posts here that's awful and worth firing him over.
Oh, and Shaka's buyout is $13 million. No thanks.
Clemson shouldn't hire a coach that someone else doesn't want, who couldn't get it done in a much more ideal scenario, no matter how "cool" or "exciting" they or their style of play might seem.

Yea, I've got to second this. Brad has a better record over the same time frame and more NCAA tournament wins.
