Clemson Postgame

[Sbucketball]

The staff was clearly given the resources needed to get a tournament level talent base. There has been some indications that this may have been a one-time infusion by a gigantic donor.

Disappointing to hear. If our NIL budget isn’t consistently this high we’re going to struggle even after hiring a new coach.

Well, there's a certain Felo ...

He kept him on staff because hes a really good recruiter. Yes and no, you know these guys have egos. After the medicore way jb ended his tenure, you think he wanted red having a lot of success?

If he was such a good recruiter, the team would have been better, he couldn't carry Hops jock in recruiting.. That description of Red as an assistant is not really accurate.

I think if I want anyone to have success, a former player of mine and assistant would be the perfect option, and would be thrilled. So JB named him Associate HC so he could take over, knowing that he couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag and seeing him fail would justify JBs greatness?
I find it hard to believe JBs character would be that bad.

And what does this matter whether JB wanted his successor to be successful? Who cares, he's gone out to pasture.

I wanted to add that I agree with you about Freeman’s return. Since the extent of his injury and rehab timeframe was kept secret it wasn’t right to publicly suggest he come back sooner.

But it was flat out weird to keep trotting him out for pregame warmups then not play him. That’s simply not a normal way to manage an injury return.

He should have been back for Stonehill if he could have played. And I thought he should have started vs Clemson too. We went into a 12-3 early hole while White played poorly.

Just another brick in the wall of how this program seems to be run badly these days.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a star player return from injury and not start but playe the majority of the game

Same. When he didn’t start I figured he’d get something like 6-8 minutes each half as they eased him back. Instead he played 28 of the last 34 minutes of the game. It was nonsensical. But on brand for this program.

or watch a coach literally heat check his players by benching them…but not the 1 dude

He looked like a guy that could have come back a couple weeks ago

i was thinking to myself when Donnie came back they would start him off slow maybe 10-15 minutes a game against a few scrub teams and have a traditional rehab stint. Nope goes against clemson and plays 34 minutes or something. It wouldnt shock me if he couldnt finish off the season. Knock on wood i hope he does.
