Transfer guard puts Clemson in top six

Clemson lands in the final six of a starting-caliber transfer guard.

Clemson basketball has dipped its toes into the transfer portal multiple times this offseason, and the program could be adding Wichita State transfer guard Dexter Dennis, who put the Tigers in his final six on Wednesday.

Along with Clemson, the 6-foot-5 guard has Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kansas State, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt as his potential new school. Dennis has seen plenty of action with four years of experience at Wichita State. In 27 games last season, he scored 8.4 points per game on 35.3% from the field, also grabbing five rebounds per game.

In 2019, Dennis was named to the AAC All-Freshman Team after scoring 8.4 points per game and shooting 40% from the 3-point line.

If Dennis were to join the Tigers, he would join a guard group consisting of Chase Hunter, Josh Beadle, Alex Hemenway and incoming freshman Dillon Hunter, brother of Chase. The Tigers were thought to have added Princeton transfer guard Jaelin Llewellyn, who committed to the Tigers in April, but he backed out and recently chose Michigan as his new school.
