Trevor Booker - Booker received offers from Wofford, William & Mary, and South Carolina.
K. J. McDaniels - McDaniels had offers from Missouri, Murray State and South Alabama.
Jaron Blossomgame - Blossomgame chose Clemson over VCU, Wichita State, Tennessee Tech and Gardner-Webb.

I'm not throwing shade at Clemson. I already mentioned Milton Jennings as a big-time player that they landed in the recent past, and his name is more relevant than anyone else you mentioned in the past 20 years because the others that made it to the NBA were three star guys without blue blood offers. Some guys are wired differently, but most high-profile athletes choose colleges where they think their game will be showcased for the NBA and receive national exposure. Playing on the biggest stage is appealing and like it or not, his chances of playing in a championship game at Clemson are pretty slim. The same logic works against Carolina in football. There is a reason Carolina continues to lose players to Clemson, FSU, and UGA in football, and there is a reason that successful CBB players from S. Carolina leave the state. That doesn't say anything specifically about Zion, or offer a prediction, but I doubt there are many Clemson fans confident he's signing with Brownell.

Sure it is.
