Zion Williamson sets commitment date.
- Thread starter HRTheCard
- Start date
Not at all. Just joining a secondary conversation that someone else started talking about dominant players that played for programs that were not good, Fultz being a prime example. Had nothing to do with Williamson or Clemson.
I don’t agree with that. I wasn’t trying to take a tone, either, so my apologies. I think we just disagree on what we were discussing
how did you get that out of my comment?
typical little man syndrome
do you honestly think him going to Clemson will give him a better chance of reaching the FF or championship game over Duke, UK, UNC?
AGAIN HOW DID YOU GET THIS OUT OF WHAT I POSTED
So by this, you're seceding that Uk needs a top 3 talent to make it to the FF or championship?
That sounds good and all when discussing other people, but at your job, if there was a choice that would make your job a lot easier, would you seriously choose the option that makes your job a lot harder? If you are the type to choose the work that would make your job a lot harder, then you are rare.
I'm taking the KD route if given the choice.
"Work smarter; not harder!"
Once every few years or so, Q and I agree. This is one of those occasions. Very nice way of summing up this entire conversation with a bare minimum look at the equation.
Clemson will lose two starters in Donte Grantham and Gabe DeVoe - plus the top big off the bench, Mark Donnal. I would project Clemson to have 4 seniors starters with Ziion. Not sure how the bench will project, but the starting unit will be very, very solid. I think they're capable of being a top 10 team next year.
Shelton Mitchell, 6'3 Sr (12.4 ppg, 4.4 ast)
Marcquise Reed, 6'3 Sr (15.3 ppg, 4.9 reb, 3.1 ast)
David Skara, 6'8 Sr (lockdown defender)
Zion Williamson, 6'7 Fr
Elijah Thomas, 6'9 (11.6 ppg, 8.1 reb, 2.5 blk)

Hell, I'll say it. Clemson is far from a household name when it comes to basketball. When did they last win, or even contend for an ACC title, let alone make any kind of run in the NCAAT to be taken seriously? If this is Zion's choice, it's just another "big fish in a small pond" scenario where ZW is more concerned about HIS stats than having a shot at an NCAA title.
As much as this kid has marketed himself all over YouTube, why would you spend your year of college hoops away from the spotlight?
Having said that, rumblings that his stepdad may be getting hired by Clemson just surfaced.... maybe that's the reason...we'll see.
I think as a few others have pointed out, Clemson could have a really good roster next year, and I have no idea what ours will look like. Clemson very well could be contender for all I know. Most years, I would agree that if a star like Zion were to pick a Clemson for one year of school, he wasn't too concerned with winning. But I've been educated on Clemson and they could be pretty good next season. Not that we won't be, but this might not be the best example of "have to play for a blue blood to win."
His step Dad will not be on Brad Brownell’s staff. This has been confirmed by sources close to the program.

Clemson is pretty good this year, not sure how their roster will shape up for next year, but if they add Zion, they will obviously be preseason top 10 with a strong chance to make a good run in the tourney. Thems just the faxts.
we know they will lose two of their top five
after that i have no idea what their roster will look like
i doubt they will have the talent of UK, Duke, UNC, KU, ect.............

They will have some seniors though, I’d put them in my top 10 especially if they land Williamson, however if they don’t, I’d put them fringe top 25 team. They play good defense and have some shooters.
More often than not the championship isn’t won by the “most talented” team, it’s usually a couple studs surrounded by solid role players.
Most of the time, absolutely. I haven't watched Clemson this year but if they are returning most of their team and adding Zion they would be real good next year. Long way to go still.
Zion staying close to home and playing for Clemson actually makes some sense. Clemson will be darn good next year. Zion's mom gets to see him play a lot and he still will get national attention. He just won't get the e TV time of the blue bloods.
Most recruiting experts have him going to Clemson. UK will be fine next year. We'll have a lot of experienced talent returning.

Wofford was loyal to him since he was a HS freshman, but now he's just looking for fame and fortune by choosing between all of these big conference schools.
Kentucky won't be fine at all. They seriously can't shoot. They look more like a typical Mick Cronin Cincinnati team than they do UK.
I'm guessing this guy is going to Clemson. I only heard about him today since I haven't been following recruiting recently, but it sounds like Clemson or South Carolina.

Jones, Barrett, Reddish, and Zion.... that is just ridiculous. They will score every time down the floor. But, will they play defense? They won't have much to speak of inside though. Get ready Dukies, here come the "you better win it all or it's a massive failure" comments. Enjoy. 
Boy we're not used to that at all. Been hearing it for the past 2 seasons why not make it 3.Jones, Barrett, Reddish, and Zion.... that is just ridiculous. They will score every time down the floor.
