ACC basketball way-too-early power rankings for 2024-25: Where do Seminoles stand?
. . 432. ACC early power rankings. . . . . 6.
Clemson has a solid season making it all the way to the elite Eight only to fall to Alabama to make it to the Final Four for the first time ever. Their appearance in the Elite Eight was the first one in 43 years, helping to secure head coach Brad Brownell's job with what was still a successful season.
The two big pieces the Tigers will have to replace are guards Chase Hunter and Joe Girard. However, the Tigers are hopeful that PJ Hall will return for his fifth year after going through the NBA Draft process. However, the Tigers have been active in the transfer portal bringing in replacements for Hunter and Girard and a possible replacement for Hall if needed.
Clemson could use some more depth, especially at the guard position, but for right now, watching to see what Hall does is the biggest thing for the Tigers. If he stays, they could have a repeat of last season, but if he leaves, they could have bigger issues.
