The Clemson and South Carolina basketball programs have enjoyed success over the past few years, but it hasn’t been enough to keep the top in-state prospects from staying home.
Porter-Gaud’s Josiah James, a five-star prospect, was the latest star who opted to play college basketball outside the Palmetto State when he picked Tennessee on Wednesday. James’ announcement comes a few months after Spartanburg Day phenom Zion Williamson announced he was headed to Duke.
Also, York Prep’s D.J. Burns (Tennessee) and former Gray Collegiate standout Juwan Gary (Alabama) chose to go out of state.
