That's a joke. But that's ok. He'll come in with a chip.

FWIW:

Last week Theo Pinson, #1 player in NC, was playing in a game and Jeff Borzello was tweeting about him. I asked him who had better all around game Pinson and Clark.

His response was, "Who is Clark."

Once I told him he said, "Pinson, easily."

I then asked if Clark played against good competition, he said, "No clue, I just know Pinson is better than him."

Think it is the case that he may not be scouted as heavily as the top players even though he is a top player.

It's a joke to make a statement (even if it may be true) like that without even seeing or knowing who the other guy is. People that have seen both say Clark "may" be the best player in NC.
 
It would be very tough to keep up with all the high school talent in the nation, but you can't make that blanket statement. Gary appears to have the ability and mindset to prove him wrong.
 
I'm pretty sure no one on here has seen all the 99 people ahead of Clark or the majority of players that aren't ranked as high as him so all we can really do is hope he rises in the ranks to create some pub but also to take them with a grain of salt. To sit here and say he should be ranked higher without seeing the others play is silly. Same goes for Borzello.

While I haven't seen all of them, I have seen a large majority. Clark belongs somewhere between 40-60 based on the PFs that are ranked in that range across the four main services. Pinson is the better prospect, but Clark isn't that far behind...

It's sometimes suggested that politics and what teams are involved in the recruiting process can impact and shape the rankings. From your perspective, do you see that happening?
 
he is 6'8" 210 has great touch, athleticism, great finisher, great shot blocker, unselfish, and a great kid. If we keep getting kids like this I could care less what they are ranked, Cronin has proven he knows what he's doing, I almost think it's better for clark now he has a chip on his shoulder to prove to everyone how good he is.

He seems like a kid Syracuse would try to get, reminds me of CJ fair.

No don't in my mind he is going to be really really good here.

Not really. While he finished with a big name program, he didn't join them until the final AAU season so he had a lot of ground to make up on the national radar in a short period of time. Getting to four star status is strong, I just think he should have been a good deal higher based on the PFs ahead of him...

I agree 100% Chad. I said earlier he'd land 75-100 range when all was said and done and I think he is far better than many ahead of him.
