South Bend native Pat Holmes says it's still "a point of pride" to be the head coach for La Lumiere boys basketball. He has another talented team for the 2023-24 season.
CLEMSON, S.C. – Head Coach Brad Brownell and his staff added Dallas Thomas (Little Rock, Ark./Parkview Magnet), Del Jones (Largo, Md./AZ Compass Prep) and Ace Buckner (Cleveland, Ohio/La Lumiere School) to the Clemson University men’s basketball program on Wednesday. All three signed letters of intent to play for the Tigers beginning in 2024-25. The Clemson recruiting class ranks 16th nationally, according to 247Sports, and is fourth in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Thomas and Jones join PJ Hall (Spartanburg, S.C./Dorman) in the 247Sports’ top five rated Clemson recruits of all time. “I’m excited about the addition of Dallas, Del and Ace to our basketball family. These are three talented players who help solidify our backcourt and perimeter positions. Their an athletic group whose versatility should allow them to play multiple positions and blend well with our team.” Thomas is a 6-9, 180-pound four-star forward who ranks as the No. 67 overall prospect and second in Arkansa
