Clemson head coach Brad Brownell knows it is tough for his basketball program to compete on the recruiting trail against blue bloods in the ACC like Duke and North Carolina, schools with tradition the Tigers can’t match and places where recruits just generally want to go play.
So, Clemson has to find a way to make up for the inherent disadvantages it is up against in recruiting, and the biggest way Brownell and his staff try to do that is by getting prospects on campus and showing off what makes the school different – its authentic family atmosphere.
