Wow! Had resigned myself to the “fact” that we probably weren’t going to offer but glad to be wrong about that. Nice surprise! 
O’Brien’s observation from this weekend at the Phenom Hoops’ Summer Havoc:
Number 9 in latest Hoop Seen state rankings:

Will announce his commitment on October 9th at 6pm.
With less than 48 hours before his announcement, this from Brian Snow:
If he choses Davidson, he is dead to me.
can’t think why on earth he would want to join davidson over us?

FWIW, 247 and Rivals are predicting Clemson.
Based on “relationships with head coaches” and who he thinks will play him more. Will make someone a nice transfer in a couple years, the marriage being less fun than the honeymoon. I suppose this is a typical attitude nowadays, but can you imagine being an upperclassman and having a freshman come in expecting to start right away?
to be fair to him, he probably just wants to develop more. he seems like a determined man, i can respect that type of attitude.
Brad Brownell had been at Clemson for 10 years, and has a losing conference record. He might have an overall losing record if he did not schedule enough OOC creampuffs every year to start the season. I guess playing in the ACC is a powerful draw, even if you are not ever relevant.

I might hate the ACC but you go to an ACC school and even a losing one get to play some absolutely legendary programs in some of college basketballs most recognized buildings and a ton of TV coverage. It sucks but if the ACC comes calling it’s hard to say no.
Didn’t read anything about Taylor expecting to start as a freshman and he acknowledges upperclassman John Newman’s role in the SG position. The latter appeared in every game as a frosh, making one start. As a sophomore, Newman was the only Tiger to start every game last year. Seems like the two have a pretty good relationship.

… and now he is in the transfer portal.
To get PT under Forbes, seems one has to pretty much transfer in.
