Zion Williamson


Jan 30, 2019, 10:51 AM

If we had signed him we are probably 18-2 or better. I have no respect for these 5 star prospects that abandon the state that gave them so much and go out of state. Even if you go to that "other " school in Columbia I could respect that more than going out of state to a school that don't need you anyway just for fame. I realize we get them in football as well but it really irks me. No appreciation for their home state.

for some crappy college in North Carolina that has arguably the best basketball coach in the country with a legit chance to win the national championship.

Btw, do you have the same disrespect for guys like Trevor Lawrence, Justyn Ross, Tee Higgins, ETN, DW4, etc?

You are actually blaming a coach for a NBA rule change that placed an age requirement on kids... so rather than skipping college for the NBA they are now forces into College and then select the most successful active college coach. He adapted his entire coaching style due to the new ecosystem.

And that is K's fault how?

We are Number 31 in the country without Zion so with him we would be easily Top 20 or maybe Top 10.

I can't imagine Fletcher outside and Zion inside, it would be a show.

Wofford is now 19-4 with losses to UNC, Miss St., Oklahoma, and Kansas. We should have beat Miss St. and had Oklahoma. All were on the road.

Wofford is 10-0 in the SoCon and has a much better shot at an AT LARGE bid than Clemson come March if we don't win the SoCon tournament.

The SoCon is much better this year and 1 of the Top 10 conferences in the country.

Jan 30, 2019, 11:08 AM [ in reply to This is the dumbest take Ive ever seen*** ]

Five Zion like players and you will be posting about my great skills as a coach!

You are correct about one thing. With Williamson the Tigers would be in the top five right now. He would have made the difference but .... maybe next year! Coach is currently recruiting a top five kid from Oak Hill right now and we are on his list! Maybe one will make the move some day. It’s important, I think, to continue supporting the team and coaches, but that is difficult for some to do.

Coach Ellis won the ACC with Campbell and Davis in 89/90 and made it to the sweet 16 before that highly contested basket by U Conn sent us home. As I recall Duke and UVA made it to the final four that year and the Tigers were ACC champs

Re: give Me a team with....


Feb 1, 2019, 11:06 AM

I assume you are talking about Cole Anthony.

He is not going to Clemson and the Tigers are not even in his top 5 and never have been.

Most experts like him to UNC with Oregon on the map and Duke in the top 3. He is also has been hinting at Georgetown recently.

If I was betting he goes to Oregon. He is from Portland originally and I think he heads home to the West Coast.

Clemson is ZERO factor here. None.

Everything in the post you responded to was accurate. Ellis won the ACC and made it to the Sweet Sixteen. You keep posting it no longer counts like that means it never happened. I was there, watched it, and enjoyed that season immensely. It happened.

No matter how much you want it to count, it doesn't.


Feb 1, 2019, 11:43 PM

That 1990 team was great. I loved watching the "Duo of Doom" of Elden Campbell and Dale Davis. That team made the Sweet 16, and should've made the Elite 8 if the refs had been able to watch a replay to see that Tate George released his shot after the buzzer.

Unfortunately, the NCAA no longer recognizes those wins that season due to sanctions. This has nothing to do with Brownell. Not sure why you brought him into it.

but did not win the tournament. but remember, neither of those players were Top 10 recruits. I can't think of us ever signing a Top 10 recruit. We've signed a few McDonald's All Americans but not a legit-baller-program changer 5-star, but correct me if I am wrong.
But who are the highest rated bball recruits we've ever had and what was their rank?

For me, it's not that Zion went out of state, it's that he majorly trolled us by making everyone think he was going to pick Clemson, just to get the shock factor when he announced a different school. If he had been outwardly high on Duke the whole time, I would have had no issue with him not staying in state.

Feb 1, 2019, 5:56 PM [ in reply to Re: Zion Williamson ]

in the closing seconds... Coach K sold his accolades, notoriety, and a potential championship run with 4 other players to complement his ability with the ability to play all 5 on the court at the same time and all of them would get their time to shine...
Honestly, Zion has been one and done for a couple of years, so where's the best place to play for a championship? unfortunately, not Clemson in 2018-2019... Zion understood that he is just one man...

mad at an athlete for shunning his state?

There’s a lot of reasons I don’t like Zion’s decision, but it’s his call and obviously Duke provides a phenomenal launch pad for his NBA career. So good for him.

I would imagine that he will do more for SC with the millions he makes than the OP does.

Zion doesn't owe the state anything. You're not obligated to make life and career choices based on where you happen to be born in this country. Are you saying the same thing about all these out of state 5 star football players we are getting? Is Justyn Ross betraying or turning his back on the state of Alabama?

What a hilariously stupid take.
