Fresh off an Elite Eight appearance, head coach Brad Brownell is hoping to continue the success at Clemson. A few more pieces would be required to once again build excitement and one of them was announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Chase Hunter will return to Clemson for the 2024-2025 season, he announced. Hunter had previously declared for the 2024 NBA Draft but after going through the process, Hunter decided to play one more year of college basketball.
“Clemson family, let’s run it back one more time!” Hunte said on his Instagram page.
Hunter has been around the Clemson program for quite some time. His career began back in 2019 but due to injuries and COVID-19, Hunter has the option of playing for six seasons. A foot injury as a true freshman earned him a redshirt year.
Brownell will be thankful as Hunter has grown into a good player and should be one of the best in the ACC next season. Hunter averaged 12.9 points per game, good enough to be the team’s third-leading scorer. He was the top assist man, though, dishing out an average of 3.2.
