- I exchanged emails with the folks over at the OP about Jon Sanderson and it was clear that Clemson fans are disappointed to lose Sanderson. They pointed out Trevor Booker’s development; a guy who went from bulky to agile (while still a physical specimen). Demontez Stitt is a guy who added lots of strength between his freshman and sophomore years (before & after). The most important point was that Sanderson’s program helped enable Clemson to play their uptempo full court pressing style of basketball. Other Clemson fans in the comments pointed to Sanderson’s personality which is also great for recruiting. Overall I am very pleased with the hire.
