Clemson basketball transfer portal tracker 2024: Who's in, who's out for Brad Brownell
CLEMSON — It's another offseason for Clemson basketball, meaning the program can acquire players in the transfer portal while current Tigers can enter it.
Clemson coach Brad Brownell has used the portal, which opened March 18, effectively throughout his 14-year tenure as the Tigers struggled to land elite high school talent. He has attracted experienced college players, adding 11 during the past five years.
Joseph Girard III, a Syracuse transfer, came over last season, enjoyed his time and gave his pitch to why others should come to Clemson after its Elite Eight loss.
"Clemson is just an unbelievable place," Girard said. "There's unbelievable people. They, obviously, develop their players, and they win a lot of basketball games. Anyone looking forward to living in a great place, playing with great people, playing for great people, and doing great things should go to Clemson."
The portal was open until May 1 for undergraduate transfers, and there is no deadline for portal players to commit to a new program.
