Blossomgame and Coleman

were supposed to be the saviors this year. I heard there names all over this board last year as a wait till next year. Now that we are here where are they? Coleman has already ditched and Blossomgame is a glorified towel man.

expect this year, but people just assumed that we would be so much better offensively with Coleman and Blossomgame; understandable optimism I guess, but almost totally unfounded: http://www.tigernet.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=13451155

program. He has to launch a PR program, and publicly state, over and over, that Clemson intends to compete in the new and improved ACC in basketball. This talk needs to be backed up with the $$$ in the way of great new facilities, and if it is deemed necessary, a coach who can recruit at a high level. Anything less guarantees ongoing frustration and disappointment.

If he continues to develop, in three more years maybe he will let TIP be his towel man. Maybe.

The insistence was that they would make us a very good team, immediately. Blossomgame had 16 points (14 today, funny how that works) for the month of December and just went scoreless at FSU when the post was made. Yes he will get better and stronger with every game, it is just that at the end of last year, we would be significantly better with those two.

People pointed them out b/c you had morons on here saying "we will be even worse next year" "who do we have next year?"
Seems like you were one of the ones comparing minutes and garbage, predicting we wouldn't win more games this year.

Brownell has been upfront. On Coleman, which doesn't matter now that he's transferred, said he was in line to start last year until the injury. Never once in the rehab or early season did he place the tag on Coleman he'd be the key part. With Blossomgame, he's a freshman who had 2 major leg surgeries and hadn't played for 18 months. Spoke often of the rust he has. Brownell always pointed people to KJ and Hall as the leaders of this team, which they clearly are. Blossomgame will continue to get better, more confident and shake the rust and injury off, but he's a freshman. He'll be up and down, and the staff has said that over and over
