Shyatt's Top 10 Recruiting Class Now Complete |
CLEMSON -- The last of five Clemson University basketball recruits has
officially joined the fold. Sherrod Ford, the 6-foot-9, 210-pound forward from Acokeek, Md., surpassed the minimum standard on his SAT and is now qualified to enroll at Clemson University, head coach Larry Shyatt said Tuesday. “We were confident all along that all five of these young men would be here, and now Sherrod is ready to go,” Shyatt said. “He’ll be on campus Thursday.” Ford’s qualifying score allows him to join what many experts consider to be a national top 10 recruiting class this fall at Clemson. Already qualified were Olu Babalola (6-6, 245) from London, England; Chey Christie (6-4, 170) from Biloxi, Miss.; Steve Allen (6-10) from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; and Jemere Hendrix (6-8, 215) from Covington, Ga. Babalola and Hendrix already are on campus preparing for summer school, Shyatt said. Christie and Allen had later high school graduation dates and are expected to joint the others in the near future.
