Clemson men’s basketball lands BYU transfer, Damarcus Harrison

CLEMSON — Clemson men’s basketball is seeking depth and experience and found some Monday when it announced the addition of 6-5 guard Damarcus Harrison, a transfer from Brigham Young University.

When Harrison will play at Clemson is unclear. NCAA rules state a player must typically sit out a year when transferring to another Division I program, but Clemson has announced it plans to file a waiver in an attempt to allow Harrison to play in the 2012-13 season.

Harrison, originally from Greenwood, helped BYU to the third round of the 2012 NCAA tournament, averaging 3.2 points per game as a freshman. Harrison scored a career-high 12 points against Iona in the NCAA tournament.
