13.  Clemson Tigers

The Clemson Tigers basketball squad took a hit at the end of the regular season by not making the NCAA Tournament. They made the NIT postseason but lost in the second round to the Wichita State Shockers at home.

The Tigers will lose five seniors heading into the 2019-20 season, which means a rebuild could be on the horizon for them. They’ve got three signees already to their 2019 recruiting class and have three spots left to fill going forward.  They have just one offer floating out there in the 2019 class and are currently looking to go big in 2020. The Tigers currently have 14 open offers in the 2020 class.

A lot can change before May for Brad Brownell and company. Aamir Simms and Clyde Trapp will need to take on bigger roles without the other four starters in the rotation. With a guard-heavy class on the way, Clemson will have some youth in their backcourt but with a few veterans, things could be better than predicted.
