What Brad Brownell said about Zac Foster signing with Clemson

Foster, 6-foor-4, 180-pound, was the second player in the class. The Atlanta guard committed on Sept. 12 and is the No. 70 prospect nationally, making him the fourth-highest recruit Clemson has signed all-time per 247Sports.

"Zac Foster is a talented combo guard with excellent size, speed and skill for the position," Brownell said in a school release Tuesday. "He has grown up in the game, coming from a basketball centric family. Our staff has been following Zac for quite some time and impressed by his versatility, talent and feel for the game. He excelled in the summer league circuit, and we feel he has a bright future playing multiple positions at Clemson."

Foster picked the Tigers over Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, Georgia and West Virginia. His brother, Marcus, is a senior guard at Xavier, and his mother, Sheri, is in the Hall of Fame for women's basketball at Loyola Marymount University.

What Brad Brownell said about Chase Thompson signing with Clemson

Thompson, a 6-8, 215-pound guard from Alexandria, Minnesota, committed to Clemson on Sept. 29. He is the No. 2 player in Minnesota and is a dual-sport athlete.

"Chase Thompson is a multi-sport athlete who has excelled as a leader in both sports," Brownell said. "This weekend he's quarterbacking his football team in the state championship. On the court, his versatility and skill level should allow him to play effectively all over the floor. I am impressed by his competitive nature and winning pedigree and look forward to working with him as soon he gets on campus."

Thompson chose Clemson over Iowa and West Virginia and averaged 19 points and 9.6 rebounds as a junior last year.

What Brad Brownell said about Trent Steinour signing with Clemson

Steinour, 6-10, 215-pound, was the first player in the class, committing on May 23. The Mooresville (North Carolina) forward is the No. 10 player in the state and is the grandson of former Clemson big man Randy Mahaffey, who played for the Tigers from 1964 to 1967.

"Trent Steinour is the latest addition to Clemson from the legendary Mahaffey family," Brownell said. "He's long, athletic and runs the floor extremely well. A tireless worker, Trent has worked hard to develop his perimeter game throughout high school, and we think he will fit very well into our hi/low motion offense."

Steinour chose Clemson over Georgia, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and South Carolina. He averaged 16 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.3 blocks as a junior last season.
