Loganville (Ga.) Grayson’s Ian Schieffelin announced his pledge to the Tigers on Monday evening. The three-star forward had been a projection to Clemson by Tigerillustrated.com.
Schieffelin (6-8, 225) also held offers from Virginia Tech, Charleston, Charlotte and Appalachian State among others.
Clemson tracked Schieffelin through last season, then jumped in to account for his first high-major offer in early July following Schieffelin’s strong performance in an AAU tournament.
The Tigers then pushed to close the deal before his recruitment had a chance to expand with greater exposure.
He projects to play the 4-forward position in Brad Brownell’s system.
Schieffelin profiles as a strong rebounder with catch-and-shoot ability as well as passing acumen on the perimeter.
He gives Clemson two commitments for the 2021 class, joining Columbia (S.C.) Cardinal Newman four-star guard Josh Beadle, who committed to the Tigers in June. Beadle is a Rivals150 member, coming in at 140th nationally.
The Tigers could take one more prospect for the class, and Tigerillustrated.com has reported they have an eye on making that addition a big wing – with one or two prospects in the mix for that spot.
Schieffelin is billed 42nd nationally among power forward prospects for the class of 2021 by Rivals.com.
