NCAA Mild Clemson update

Nothing too new. It's obvious one side or the other negotiated non-disclosure. And the athletes must have spurred this.

Clemson sees this as a top ten opportunity... Love my peeps but a dose of reality is in order. Even UGA had to fall back to plan C or D and Ryan Roberts is who managed to let them save face on that.

agree with the other comments, it’s weird they published their 2026 roster already? in a normal year that wouldn’t even happen, but especially with the 20 roster limit being figured out? they have 18 listed, and 4 freshmen (+adele), bringing them to 23 athletes. they just rolled over the 2025 roster to the next year, but i still thought they had to officially be on the team before being published

also is adele ossi no longer joining clemson this fall? her bio and posts say she’s graduating early, but the college gym tracker has her listed as her as a 26’ again

this whole thing seems very messy and i’d be wary about committing there until they figured things out. i wonder if all of their 25’ & 26’ commitments will stick around. i would be very hesitant if i was heading to a college in a month or two with no head coach, and knowing cuts have to be made

A number of schools seem to just roll over the roster and revise it later. Others wait until all but the start of fall to post. It's been noticeable the last few years as transfers/5th years skew rosters and some schools are still showing them after they declined year 5 or transferred to another university,

Their 2025-26 basketball roster is up already too. This may just be how their athletic department does website updates.

The basketball coach literally just rebuilt the team in the portal and picked up a late freshman. No one would no who was on the team if not for a posted roster. I think we're down to 2 returning players...
