CHARLOTTE — Brad Brownell readily admits he is facing one of his biggest challenges during his Clemson tenure. Seeing as he’s been the head coach since 2010 and has guided the program through some tumultuous times, that’s saying something.
However, this challenge is of a different variety. With Dillon Hunter being the only regular to return from last season’s NCAA Tournament team, Brownell had to hit the portal hard. He signed six transfers, including bringing RJ Godfrey back for a second stint. He’s also got six players who are either freshmen or redshirt freshmen.
“The biggest challenge in a while, no doubt,” Brownell told TCI at the ACC Tipoff.
