Brownell has never signed a 5 star recruit


Nov 17, 2022, 4:14 PM

Dabo has 3 on the roster at the QB position alone.

That's crazy.

Brown-L has signed a 5 star recruit.


Nov 17, 2022, 4:23 PM

He just wasn't any good.

Milton Jennings was signed by Oliver Prunel but never played for him IIRC

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He played for Purnell his freshman year.


Nov 17, 2022, 5:19 PM

He improved a good bit once Brad arrived, but obviously never became the player we hoped he would.

What would be Brad's pitch in trying to get a five star? Asking seriously.

The same as every other basketball coach we’ve had:

Lie


Nov 17, 2022, 6:32 PM [ in reply to He played for Purnell his freshman year. ]

Perfect example of an absolutely lie present as fact by Judge Keller. He didn’t improve under Brownell. On a per minute basis he moved backwards every year with Brownell. His senior year he had less rebounds and steals per minute than he did as a freshman and barely more points scored per minute. More tellingly, his senior year averaged almost 20% less points per minute than his sophomore year. This was a 5* McDonalds All-American. Perhaps if Brad had even attempted to play to his strengths both their stories could have turned out differently.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You obviously never saw Jennings play


Nov 18, 2022, 8:35 AM

He was not good. He wasn’t even a Mac’s Drive Inn All-American.

Re: You obviously never saw Jennings play


Nov 18, 2022, 12:45 PM

I saw Jennings play. And I watched him improve through his sophomore year then dramatically regress. You can put all the blame on Jennings or believe that coaches play a role in the development of their players. If you don't think coaches matter, why do you care whether we keep Brownell or not. I know why but I'm not sure you're self-actualized enough to understand your motivations. (Hint...they have nothing to do with the success of our programs.)

Brownell immediately ground our tempo down to dust.

Kenpom adjusted tempo (out of 340 or so teams):

2008 - 78
2009 - 67
2010 - 87
2011 - 248
2012 - 265
2013 - 303

Huh, what changed between 2010 and 2011?

Re: Per minute stats crashed across the board because

It was all Milton Jennings fault.

Here you go:


Nov 17, 2022, 10:51 PM

Freshman season (Purnell):
3.3 points per game, 2.7 rebounds per game, 37.4% field goals, 17.1% three pointers.

Sophomore season (Brownell):
8.3 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, 41% field goals, 29.3% three pointers.

Junior season (Brownell):
9.8 points per game, 5.6 rebounds per game, 44.1% field goals, 33.3% three pointers.

Senior season (Brownell):
10.2 points per game, 6.4 rebounds per game, 40.9% field goals, 32% three pointers.

Re: Here you go:


Nov 18, 2022, 12:52 PM

he's being very careful to only posts the stats in a manner that appear positive. These aren't efficiency stats.

Per 40 minutes played:

Freshman 11.6
Sophomore 16.6
Junior 14.8
Senior 13.8

Even marginal year over year improvement from his sophomore year till senior year and he would have been an all-ACC player. Instead, he's our basketball legacy's biggest punching bad while the coach skates by.

Re: What??.

Bust under Brownell. He improved dramatically his freshman to sophomore year. Then moved steadily backwards.

Every game that I saw Milton in, he didn't play. He was on the court, but was terrible. He was totally mis-starred. At best a 2

Anybody who saw Jennings play.

Re: Brownell has never signed a 5 star recruit


Nov 17, 2022, 4:23 PM

What is crazy about that?

Comparing Clemson basketball to Clemson football is apples to oranges. I can't think of one Clemson men's basketball coach, off the top of my head, who recruited a 5 star. Purnell was close with Milton Jennings, but he wasn't a consensus 5 star by the end of the cycle.

Milt was more like a Burger King 5 - star

Very few of you youngsters had the opportunity to see Skip Wise but he could play the game......

Unfortunately he played other ‘games’ as well and had a short stay at Clemson. When he and Stan Rome were on the court together the Tigers were worth the price of admission.
Even nctgr would have approved of their skills!!!

Duke football can’t seem to sign 5-star football players


Nov 17, 2022, 5:46 PM

... but, they seem to sign a few 5-stars in another varsity sport.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I can understand why Duke will probably never be


Nov 17, 2022, 10:31 PM

much better than they traditionally have been in football, but I don't believe Clemson has to accept that same fate in basketball. We can and should do better. I don't think we are willing to make the committment and investment needed to be a perrenial basketball powerhouse like Duke, but there's another level between that and where we have traditionally been that's very attainable.

At one time Duke was a national power in football.


Nov 18, 2022, 6:24 PM

So there is evidence that it can be done at Duke.

But at some point in the mid-late 1960s, the folks at Duke chose to make hoops their priority.

But, still ... they were very good in football at one time.

Thinking Brownell is on a shorter leash than ever b/4 what with new AD


Nov 17, 2022, 10:44 PM

and if he doesn't produce in next 2 years it's gonna be over, imho.

But know Brad is a great guy & his athletes are very good students & graduate..unlike some 5-star teams & players.
