TIGERS GET PLEDGE FROM INSTATE GUARD

Clemson scored with a fast-rising guard, getting a commitment from Jordan Roper, a 6-1 combo guard at Irmo (SC) High. Roper also considered VCU, Tulane and others, but he’ll keep his talents in the Palmetto State and give Clemson its second pledge from the Class of 2012, joining GA BF Jaron Blossomgame.

When we first observed Roper, at the Chic-Fil-A Classic in the winter of the 2009-10 season (his sophomore year), we regarded him as a likely mid-major prospect. Since that time, however, he has upgraded his reputation locally and was believed by some to be a potential rankable prospect by the end of summer. If he is, the Tigers will be that much happier to have him in the fold.
