College basketball recruiting is still dirty, Clemson coach says

There was speculation that college basketball recruiting would be cleaned up after the FBI investigation into the sport started in September of 2017.

A year later, Clemson coach Brad Brownell says not much has changed as far as the sport being cleaned up.

“I think maybe for a short time, guys had their guard up a little bit,” Brownell said Wednesday during Clemson golf media day at The Reserve at Lake Keowee. “But I’ve always said, the guys that are going to cheat are going to cheat.”

Brownell believes that it is becoming harder and harder to run a clean program and be successful, and he pointed to former Georgia coach Mark Fox as an example of a coach who did things the right way but still lost his job.
