Poor Clemson. It’s always been really hard for the Tigers to compete in the ACC, and expansion has just made life tougher. And this year, they won't even have Littlejohn, as it's being renovated. The Tigers will play in Greenville instead.
The Tigers have a superb coach in Brad Brownell, but the ACC is an unforgiving league. You fall behind, you stumble, and catching up is really tough.
Clemson had a tough time replacing KJ McDaniels. The 6-6 forward was a dynamic presence at Clemson and has made an impact in the NBA.
The Tigers do have Jaron Blossomgame, whose game has certainly blossomed.
