OMAHA, Neb. — Before the season began, Clemson head coach Brad Brownell called seniors Donte Grantham and Gabe DeVoe into his office for a little heart-to-heart.
The two players were not in any trouble, he just needed to talk to them about expectations and goals for the upcoming season.
Obviously, after the way the 2016-’17 season had ended, Brownell wanted to make sure he and his seniors were on the same page.
“He really talked to us about how championship teams are driven by the players,” DeVoe said. “We really took that to heart and made it a priority throughout the season.
