GREENWOOD, S.C. — Brad Brownell admits he was a little bit surprised when forward Javan White asked to be released from his scholarship on March 28.
Clemson’s basketball team had just finished up its season four days earlier with a second-round loss to Wichita State in the NIT. White had come on down the stretch for the Tigers and appeared ready to compete for one of Clemson’s post positions next season.
But he wants to compete somewhere other than Clemson.
“It was a little bit of a surprise. I think we thought he would be back,” Brownell told The Clemson Insider prior to Monday’s Prowl & Growl event in Greenwood.
