Cletrell Pope is Bethune-Cookman’s old-school glass cleaner with double-double juice
In the 2019-20 season, Cletrell Pope was Bethune-Cookman’s engine inside, earning MEAC Preseason Player of the Year honors and producing a big-man profile built on rebounding, physicality, and efficient scoring around the rim.[4][6] He consistently piled up double-doubles, led the league in rebounds, and was among the conference’s best shot blockers and defensive playmakers, with 29 points and 18 rebounds in one standout game and 20 points, 16 rebounds, four steals, and two blocks in another.[10][11][14] If a team needs a high-motor forward who battles every possession and punishes the paint, he’s the kind of fit that makes coaches grin.
