Clemson's Prosper Enters Transfer Portal
Clemson's roster continues to flux just days after the season came to an end.
Following a first-round exit in the NCAA tournament last Friday, true freshman Olivier-Maxence Prosper has entered the NCAA transfer portal, a Clemson spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.
Prosper, a forward from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, averaged 2.5 points and 1.9 rebounds in 22 games played. He averaged 9.8 minutes per contest and made two starts.
Prosper is the second player this week to enter the portal. John Newman III made a decision to leave the program Monday. Incoming freshman Lucas Taylor also asked out his letter of intent this week, and that request was granted.
This latest departure now leaves Clemson with four roster spots available for the 2021-22 season. Aamir Simms, Clyde Trapp and Jonathan Baehre, all seniors, aren't expected to return. There are two incoming freshmen for next season.
The 6-foot-8 Prosper gave Clemson an athletic wingman who excelled in transition. With a full offseason to develop, he was expected to take a big step forward, but instead, he'll be looking to play elsewhere. Prosper came to the Tigers via Latin American Academy in Mexico City.
Clemson coach Brad Brownell will likely be very active in the NCAA transfer portal himself, looking for veterans and proven scorers to fill these openings.
