Clemson on Monday night received a commitment from 6-7 Liutauras Lelevicius of TCU. He is the third free agent pickup for Brad Brownell since the portal opened on April 7th. Lelevicius is a native of Lithuania who began his career at Oregon State, and he also played for the Lithuanian National Team. Last season for TCU, he started in 22 games and averaged eight points and over three rebounds per game. He shot 38% from three, but 45% in Big 12 games. He made his first 26 free throws of the season, and he led the team with an 88.7% mark from the line. Lelevicius played two years of pro ball in Lithuania and thus was identified as a redshirt sophomore when he played his first season of college ball at Oregon State. That would leave him one season to play with Clemson.
