Clemson’s men’s basketball team was already going to lose at least a couple of key contributors off this season’s roster. That number has grown even more this offseason.

Nick Honor, a redshirt junior who started 25 games at the point this past season, entered the transfer portal last month. On Tuesday, fellow guard Al-Amir Dawes joined him. Dawes is the third starting guard (David Collins) and fifth scholarship player Clemson has lost off this season’s roster so far. Collins and senior forwards Naz Bohannon and Parker Fox exhausted their eligibility.

Clemson also got some good news last month when forward Hunter Tyson, the lone senior on the roster with remaining eligibility, announced he plans to use his COVID year to return to the team next season. Tyson finished this season as the team’s fourth-leading scorer (10 points per game) and third-leading rebounder (5.5) despite missing six games with a broken clavicle.

Clemson went through the season with 12 scholarship players, one below the 13 the NCAA limits college basketball teams to each season. Signees Chauncey Wiggins, Chauncey Gibson and RJ Godfrey will account for three of the five scholarships left behind by Honor, Dawes, Collins, Bohannon and Fox, so Clemson coach Brad Brownell has three scholarships available should he choose to use them to add to the Tigers’ 2022 recruiting class.

There could be more scholarships open up, too, depending on what other current players decide to do this offseason. For now, here is a look at Clemson’s scholarship numbers for next season as of Tuesday. This will be updated as needed throughout the offseason.
