The Clemson Tigers and women’s basketball coach Shawn Poppie have added the final piece to the team’s 2024-25 roster with the addition of Cal Baptist transfer forward Kinsley Barrington.
Listed as 6-foot, Barrington was part of a Cal Baptist team that reached the NCAA Tournament a season ago. She averaged career-highs in scoring (11.0 points per game), rebounds (5.3), assists (1.9) and minutes played (26.1).
Barrington reached double figures in 18 games last year, scoring a career-high 23 points against UT-Arlington on March 7.
Cal Baptist went 28-4 overall last season and won both the WAC regular season and conference tournaments. The Lancers lost to UCLA in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, 84-55.
“Kinsley is the final puzzle piece to Team 50,” Clemson coach Shawn Poppie said in a news release Friday. “As a true stretch forward who plays with toughness, she checked off all of the boxes. She has the ability to shoot the three, post up against mismatches, and plays with great tenacity. Kinsley is a winner, just like many of our transfers, she has NCAA tournament experience. I’m excited to get Kinsley on campus soon to join a group that has been working extremely hard this summer.”
Barrington originally committed to Southern Utah before transferring to Cal Baptist and spending two seasons there. She’ll now finish her career at Clemson under Poppie, who took over as Tigers coach in March after the school parted ways with former head coach Amanda Butler.
