Clemson circling the wagons after statements in Federal Court

The Clemson Insider has learned Clemson officials met with assistant men’s basketball coach Steve Smith and head coach Brad Brownell Thursday afternoon to discuss his comments during a Federal Court proceeding in New York.

In the proceeding, a video was played Thursday of a wiretap recording that included Smith talking to Christian Dawkins and an undercover FBI agent. The recording was from a conversation taken in July of 2017 about the recruitment of former Duke star Zion Williamson.

Smith also made a couple of comments regarding the Clemson Football Program during the conversation.

The Clemson assistant coach met with Brownell and deputy athletic Graham Neff Thursday afternoon and is expected to meet with athletic director Dan Radakovich as well on Thursday.
