NCAA Basketball: Sit-out transfer Jared Bynum down to seven schools

Clemson Tigers

Clemson is losing a ton of talent this offseason with its three top scorers all graduating. Because of this, it is reasonable to expect that the program will be heading into a down season but that might not last all that long. This is due to the fact that head coach Brad Brownell is bringing in a  strong recruiting class for this next season. Behind three total commits (two in the top-150), the class is ranked at No. 33 in the nation and Bynum could be another addition (although he would sit out the first year).

With regards to the future of the program, though, there is no clear-cut point guard moving forward. The aforementioned class featured a couple of combo guards with the potential to lead the offense but they also might be better suited to play off the ball. This leads to the assumption that, in addition to simply being a great player, Bynum would be a strong fit due to the potential for minutes at Clemson.

The Tigers are in need of more star power heading into the future and Bynum could fit that bill. He is coming off of a very strong freshman campaign in an underrated conference and he should be able to compete at a high level in the ACC. With the right development, he could be a star down the road. His size might hold him back but the skill level is evident and he should only improve.
