i hope you guys tank and fire brownell so that we can hire him as an assistant and he can teach us defense.
yea it's not a realistic hope. how's his recruiting? i remember when you guys got milton jennings he was your first mcdonalds all american right? but was that still purnell who recruited him?
He was a purnell.recruiting will improve with rooks coming in this year. Not the best recruiter because he won't cheat. I still him as a coach. Most of our fan base is ready to make a change
Basically what 04 said. The two of us (and others) have had too many arguments with private board members about Brownell. I'm still a big Brownell supporter. Hopefully they give him two more years because the 2014-15 team could be pretty good (by Clemson standards)
Watching a replay of the Clemson game from 2 years ago. Jesus the difference between Audi Cole and Terrell Manning to our line backers now is insane. They made so many plays that our current linebackers couldn't make in practice.
my only issue with brownell is I'm just not sure his style is sustainable, especially next year when you lose Booker and Jennings. where's your offense going to come from? that pace/defense will keep you in some games but it'll keep other teams in it too. yea we got spoiled having those 2 and nate for 3 years. we've got some athleticism there this year but just not much proven.
I agree with what you are saying and I'm definitely worried about it. We won't have any bigs next year. We won't have any inside scoring threat. Scoring will have to come from 1-3 and it will be very inconsistent, as evidenced by this year. Our only hope is Brownell and his staff have shown the ability to develop post players in their time here. Ultimately, it'll come down to recruiting and thus far our recruiting has taken a step back since Purnell left.
Recruiting took a step back since Shaka left, look at the shit Purnell recruited after he left. It was a big pile of shit and has been processed
nah, clemson could be a solid basketball gig. not better than VCU right now, but Shaka could do more at Clemson than he'll be able to do at VCU on a long term basis.
He's God in Richmond, I don't think he'd leave that to go to a place where they don't care as much about hoops, especially since he'll have his pick of better jobs for years to come. VCU becomes a much better job if the Catholic 7 join the A-10, too.
Right I think he'll end up somewhere better than Clemson for sure. Catholic 7 changes things too. I just think Clemson has some potential to be a solid bball program. They were good at times under Purnell and Llittle John is a pretty good home court.
Anyone coming down to Myrtle Beach when Pack baseball comes and visits. I'm looking at you BigReff73 and Wolfcross?
hopefully none of yall die between today and Saturday would suck not to see any of Rodon's sophomore campaign
What's the weekend rotation looking like? Definitely trying to go Saturday/Sunday Edit nevermind it's going to be freezing. Friday it is.
i purposefully didn't go because of my luck being at state games this year. apparently you need to adopt similar habits. So far this year: -lost the UT game in atlanta -lost the UNC game in chapel hill -lost the miami bball game at home -lost the duke game in cameron but i do have a W at home against Stanford. so there's that.
So you're strategy is to go to the games with the highest percentage for a win. Spoiler Shocked you're 2 for 2
this family who sits behind me at baseball games has ties to NC St and they apparently just rescued a dog and named him Rodon
Refs are such a joke. Missing that violation on the miss was so dumb. Tyler Lewis and 1 goal tend was really obvious. And this play was just retarded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_UPD_Xj0HDg
my favorite was the one they called against VT when brown and wood were passing back and forth to burn clock, neither had been touched, and the ref's magically send Zo the FT line.
Its weird how we get the ticky tacky fouls and not the ones where wolfcross? would have to arrest someone in the streets if they did that. I'm glad Leslie got that technical because our crowd was shit yesterday till that happen. We took the lead for the first time in a while at 52 51 after free throws and nobody hardly made any noise. And thank the lord duke lost yesterday because they can't win on the road either and make me feel a little better.
