Clemson coach Brad Brownell has officially signed 7-foot-1, 260-pound Duke transfer Christian Reeves after he committed May 9.
He joins Jaeden Zackery (Boston College) and Viktor Lakhin (Cincinnati) at Clemson among incoming transfers.
All three transfers join a freshmen class that includes Dallas Thomas (Little Rock, Ark./Parkview Magnet), Del Jones (Largo, Md./Arizona Compass Prep) and Ace Buckner (Cleveland, Ohio/La Lumiere School). The freshmen class ranks No. 20 in the country, according to 247Sports.
“I’m excited that Christian chose Clemson and I know our staff is looking forward to the opportunity to work with him and continue his development,” said Brownell. “He has great size, can rebound, block shots and has the potential to become an elite rim protector and more.”
Reeves averaged 1.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in just three games at Duke last season.
“I would say the ability to contribute and improve my role as time goes on while at Clemson along with my relationship with Coach Brownell,” he told ZAGSBLOG. “Every player I talked to no matter if they transferred or were the top guy on the roster had [nothing] but good things to say about Coach Brownell and Clemson.”
