2024 Target List

Clemson buddy told me Swartz is most likely going there. So we will have to see what their staff saw in him that we didn't

Maybe after having them on campus for several weeks, the staff has been very pleased with DJ and Carr (and Freddie and Gainey) and adding another shooting guard was re-prioritized.

Just odd that it would suddenly manifest itself at Peach Jam. Where were those kinds of requests at his OV? I'd understand our backing off if it came off his OV, but coming off of the Peach Jam a month after his OV, just very odd timing for it to be a staff decision.

Agree it's very odd but these things are very dynamic as you well know. Could someone new have entered the inner circle who started making demands now that he is cutting his list down?

Yeah, there are a lot of potential explanations, but every one that has been bantered about would fall under the very unusual, as with your suggestion. It isn't impossible that someone with enough sway mysteriously entered the picture at the 11th hour with demands to be made, but it woukd seem rather unlikely or unusual for someone with that kind of immediate clout to jump in this late in a recruitment and we'll after an official visit. We may never know what really happened, I guess. Just an odd divorce this late in the game after so much investment. I'm sure the staff has their reasons, but it would just seem to have been something severe and unforeseen for them to cut bait a full month after bringing him in on an OV (and no immediate red flags there).

I'm not following too much of this thread, but my theory is if a top player suddenly was priority and now isn't... probably means that whoever their 2nd and 3rd told them they are committed to them and they completely fine with that.

Barnes is probably looking forward to the day where he could return to Little John Arena and potentially say hello to some old friends when Clemson and Tennessee play in a future ACC/SEC Match Up.

If he keeps us near the top of SEC every year we never see Clemson usually the top teams play each other,if it was going to happen it would have this season coming up.

Boswell, McCarty, and Compton would be three really really solid 4 year players. I hope we can land them all.

2/3 would seemingly be a success, I’m not sure they’d take both McCarty & Compton, but maybe. Only 2 guaranteed spots open from JJJ & Vescovi departures after the season, typically try not to recruit over guys in the fall.

Yeah, I really like these 3 guys. All very very solid.

You think the coaches prefer Compton over McCarty? Just interesting they have Boswell and Compton visiting the same weekend

I saw one Peach Jam report. He wasn't named as one of about a dozen "standouts" but was listed among 11 other notables, with
this comment: "Austin Swartz is going to put up points in some way or another. The guy’s a scorer through and through, and he lived up to his reputation with 23 for Boo Williams. More impressively, he added in 6 assists showing that he’s a more-than-willing distributor as well. "
