CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Clemson coach Brad Brownell believed his team needed some bulk and experience inside for this upcoming season. He thinks he's got it in transfers David Skara and Mark Donnal.

Skara is a 6-foot-8 transfer from Valparaiso who sat out last season because of NCAA transfer rules. Donnal is a 6-9 graduate transfer who played his first three seasons at Michigan.

Their inclusion this year fills a vital need after the Tigers lost their leading scorer in all-Atlantic Coast Conference forward Jaron Blossomgame and top rebounder in Sidy Djitte.
