It's the middle of the offseason and Clemson basketball's roster is officially set, so what could possibly get fans more excited for the upcoming season?
How about a glimpse into what we can expect from some newcomers this year?
On Saturday, newcomer Jestin Porter shared a video of himself throwing down a nasty dunk during a workout and it's even more impressive when you consider he's just 6-foot-1.
Just watch for yourself.

Porter is clearly working hard this offseason to prepare for what should be an exciting season of Clemson hoops, but he knows that his role is going to be huge and there will be plenty of pressure on his shoulders. He has to come in and help replace the production lost in that backcourt from Chase Hunter and Jaeden Zackery.
The Middle Tennessee transfer was one of the final pieces to the 2025-26 Clemson roster and he brings with him a strong knack for scoring as he averaged 15 points per game on 41 percent shooting from the floor last year. He also shot 36 percent from deep and over 82 percent from the free throw line.
Now you throw in this athleticism? He could be one of the biggest surprise newcomers in the ACC next season as long as he can cut his turnovers and become more of a playmaker. Throughout his career, he's had a negative assist-to-turnover ratio.
Brad Brownell and the Tigers will need him to clean things up and become that aggressive scorer that he was with MTSU in 2024-25 and the backcourt will flourish.
But, man, if he can throw down like this on a regular basis, this team is going to be fun.
