Junior forward Trevor Booker cracked a smile when I asked him Friday afternoon the question he said he’s been waiting to hear for awhile. Is it a given Booker will return for his senior season? “I’m not sure,†he said. “More than likely I’ll be back. My brother’s coming in next year and I love [...]
If Jack Leggett had to name one element that made this Clemson baseball season promising, it would have been that the Tigers actually have options this season in manipulating the offensive lineup. Their options have been reduced by one. Sophomore third baseman John Hinson will likely miss the entire season because of bulging disc in [...]
Was talking with colleague Travis Sawchik of the Charleston Post & Courier on Sunday about Clemson senior guard K.C. Rivers, whom I profiled in Sunday’s paper, and we reached the conclusion that while Rivers won’t make first-team All-ACC this season, he just might be one of the players we’d put in our starting five if [...]
By now perhaps you’ve seen the column in today’s Birmingham News reporting that Oliver Purnell is on Alabama’s radar to replace Mark Gottfried. You never say never in this biz, but I don’t believe this is one that Clemson fans have to be worried about just yet. First off, I don’t believe Purnell is Alabama’s [...]
Just to update a story from earlier today — the 2009 game with TCU is on. The Horned Frogs have agreed in principle to fill a vacated home game on the Clemson’s 2009 schedule, multiple sources told The State this afternoon. A contract is expected to be signed once it is received Friday, and an [...]
It looks as if Dabo Swinney’s first regular-season month as Clemson’s full-time coach could get much tougher. The Tigers are in serious talks with TCU to fill a vacated home game on the 2009 schedule, multiple sources confirmed Thursday. An agreement might have been reached, I’m not sure. But a contract has not yet to [...]
Before the Maryland game, coach Oliver Purnell insisted he felt Clemson had actually been playing well for halves, just not whole games, contributing to its uneven previous three games. Tuesday night’s 93-64 mauling of the Terps stayed true to that form, albeit to the extreme. Clemson poured in 59 second-half points to burst away in [...]
A few thoughts leading up to Clemson’s basketball game tonight against Maryland (7:30 p.m., ESPN2): With formidable post players few and far between on its roster, Maryland spends most of its games in a four-wing alignment, counting on 6-7 Landon Milbourne and 6-6 Greivis Vasquez to pick up the rebounding slack. Even in that lineup, [...]
Back from a week off, and there’s certainly a lot going on around Clemson. The basketball team’s in a jumbled sprint to the ACC finish and trying not to get yanked to the back of the line like Elliott Sadler (last NASCAR reference ever here, I hope). First pitch for what’s shaping up as a [...]
… and I’m gonna disappear for a long stretch — this week, to be precise. So the blog’s going on hiatus until next week. And man, what a perfect time to take off — 70 degree weather all week, perfect for outdoor projects. Till next week!
