Moments ago, Brad Brownell and Clemson basketball got a huge boost as Shelton Mitchell and Marcquise Reed both decided to return to school for another season. 

Reed and Mitchell declared for the NBA Draft on April 2nd but did not sign with an agent, giving the two graduates the option to return to school after evaluation if they wanted.

The deadline for players to make a decision about returning to school is today.

 

“I’m thrilled that both Shelton and Marcquise decided to finish their careers at Clemson after both earned undergraduate degrees this spring,” said Brownell. “They are extremely talented players who play well together and should give us one of the better backcourts in the ACC. I’m counting on Shelton, Marcquise and Elijah Thomas to lead this group and build on the momentum of our Sweet 16 run last season.”

Reed was Clemson's leading scorer this season at 15.8 points per game. Mitchell was a pivotal part of Clemson's offense at the point guard position, leading the team with 119 assists. He also averaged 12.2 points per game for the Tigers.

They were an integral part of Clemson's run to the Sweet 16 and a 25-win season, which tied a school record for most wins in a season.
