'14 NC PF Gary Clark (Commit)

[Robert]

Clark will not be redshirted unless he is injured. No way, no how.

I guess I just don't see the clark shaq comparisons in their games

I don't care to see if this was already mentioned in the thread but Gary Clark was ranked #100 in Final ESPN 100 for the class of 2014.

You need to clarify or make two different post hard to tell who you are talking about.

We are on the Gary Clark thread and he started his statement with "Mormon was a medical redshirt". Since we all know Mormon can't redshirt twice...how did this get so confusing?

Just read and enjoyed that article very much.

Great read. Props to our coaching staff (Coach Davis it sounds like) for getting him.

"His game is not built on the fact that he can run faster than you and jump over the top of you. His game is built on his knowing how to play and his skill that allows him to score."

So glad to be getting recruits like this now.

Justin Byerly @Justinbyerly: Cincy signee Gary Clark of Clayton HS comes in at #87 in http://t.co/SnLmKOTahS (Rivals) final class of 2014 rankings. Underrated. @Gary11_Clark

Also, Moore came in at #113.

Did anyone watch the game? How did Clark look?

I watched. He kind of got lost at times. He took the ball out a lot after makes so he passed it in they pushed it score by the time he's at half court then coming back on D from people cherry picking. Seemed like he was just running up and down the court a lot. He had a couple nice dunks and did a few really good things. Didn't shoot very well from outaide. I think him getting with our weight trainers is going to be huge cutting fat and putting on muscle for him. Going to increase his speed and stamina. He is going to be a great player for us. Excited to see him grow and become a monster as a Bearcat he has potential to be insanely good! Lots of good players in that game too! Didn't seem to have as much confidence in himself as some of the players. If he can get that too and know that people can't stop him watch out.

Pumped for the future of our program.

Clark looks like real deal. Plays smart as any bearcat since Maxiell. Don't know if he can play the 3right away going to need lose some weight and better shape. Didn't like how he played so slow(jog on EVERY play) and was kinda lost on help D.

 

[rogerOH]

not to worry

not a good showcase for a player like gary-- only one setting picks/only one not cherrypicking...will say man defense could use some work and could use some strength-training but the kids not carrying any extra weight

I noticed that also, he looks really smart for age. Like somebody else said he just needs more swagger and play harder.

 

[Bulldog01]

He didn't look like he could play the 3. His not bringing ball up court against D1 players

I'd be surprised if he's playing anywhere other than the 4 in his first year. His foot speed isn't great on defense, so he can't guard quicker players. Ball handling is certainly not his strong suit, but he does pass the ball well. He also looks like he can finish pretty well around the rim. Overall he'll need to just play harder consistently, especially on defense, before he sees significant playing time.
