Clemson junior guard Terrence Oglesby informed coach Oliver Purnell and the Tigers that he will leave the team to play professional basketball in Europe. Oglesby averaged 13.2 points per game this past season and shot nearly 40 percent from three-point range. Oglesby was an offensive spark plug for Purnell because of his solid long-range shooting. Oglesby said in a press release that he looks forward to pursuing a professional career but will miss the Tigers.
“I have enjoyed my time at Clemson University and want to thank all the fans and friends for being supportive. My decision is based solely on chasing the dream of being a professional basketball player. I would like to thank all my coaches and teammates for a memorable two years, and wish them the best of luck in the future.”
Oglesby, a native of Cleveland, TN, averaged double figures both of his seasons in a Tiger uniform. He concludes his Clemson career ranked in the top 10 in school history in three-point goals (177), three-point goals per game (2.68), and three-point accuracy (.395).
