Frashad Tisby narrows 2027 basketball recruitment to seven schools

What Happened

Four-star small forward Frashad Tisby has narrowed his 2027 recruitment to Arizona State, Florida State, Harvard, Marquette, South Carolina, UAB, and Yale. The 6-foot-6 rising senior from Cross Creek in Georgia has completed one official visit to Clemson and is scheduling additional trips. Tisby ranks No. 76 nationally and No. 21 among small forwards in the Rivals Industry Ranking. He averaged 11.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists for Jet Academy on the EYBL circuit this summer. Tisby said playing style, transition opportunities, creation for himself and teammates, and academic support will shape his decision.

Why It Matters

• Clemson has already hosted Tisby officially, while the seven listed schools remain under consideration and additional visits are being arranged.
• His stated fit centers on pace, transition play, and freedom to make plays, giving each finalist a clear on-court evaluation point.
• Tisby’s passing and processing add value beyond his scoring; evaluators saw him make cross-court reads and drive-and-kick passes from different spots on the floor.

THE PATE STATE READ

THE PATE STATE READ: Tisby’s list is built around fit, not just school names. He wants a fast style, chances to create, and an academic plan that carries weight. His 6-foot-6 frame and ability to score at each level give coaches a useful starting point, while the passing reads make the decision harder to reduce to points per game. Clemson owns the only completed official visit so far. The next visits should show which staffs can offer the role he described, rather than merely another scholarship.(Josh has not yet commented.)

What's Next

• Additional official visits: Tisby is in the process of scheduling trips, but no visit dates were provided.
• Recruitment decision: no commitment date was provided; watch for Tisby to announce his next visit or narrow the list further.
