After a life in Charleston that included 20 years working with John Kresse and Bobby Cremins at College of Charleston, Tony Ciuffo and his wife were looking to retire somewhere.

They chose Clemson, where Ciuffo is now working in a broadcasting role with various Tigers sports.

Ciuffo's son Nick was once an elite high school baseball player who went in the first round of the 2013 MLB Draft and is now in the Yankees organization.

Nick received his first college offer (from South Carolina) before he even played a high school game.

Tony is also close with Monte Lee, who coached at Charleston before taking the Clemson job.

Ciuffo serves on the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame, whose president is former Clemson administrator Bill D'Andrea.
