Clemson basketball expressing interest in coveted Syracuse transfer Chris Bell

Transfer portal season has been absolutely insane so far with a flurry of guys bolting for new homes in every corner of the country, and Clemson basketball was no stranger to losing players.

In fact, four Clemson players hit the transfer portal after the season, headlined by Chauncey Wiggins and Del Jones. While Wiggins has already found a new home in the ACC with rival Florida State, Jones is still searching and there's even been some chatter that Syracuse has reached out.

That's right, we could see both of those guys back in the ACC next season.

So how does Brad Brownell respond? By reaching out to Syracuse transfer Chris Bell, of course.

The prized Syracuse transfer has no shortage of potential suitors and he could probably end up wherever he wants next season. Clemson, however, is making a push for him, and the fit would make sense seeing as the Tigers are down some wings who can shoot and Bell fits that description.

The former top-75 recruit in the 2022 class played three seasons at Syracuse and had a career season as a sophomore, averaging 12 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 43 percent from the floor, 42 percent from deep, and 84 percent from the line.

Bell took a step back as a junior, averaging 9.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and all of his shooting numbers dipped by a few percentage points, at least.

Still, he could be a valuable role player in the right spot and Clemson feels like it could utilize him the right way. He could be the wing that the team needs after losing most of its roster. He could have a career revitalization at Clemson, but a visit needs to happen first.
