At 2:24 of the video the way he powers his way in and bounces that guy off of him, i love that part of his game. It's been a while since we've had people able to force their way to the hole.

Looks like a versatile defender and great athlete. realllllllly needs to work on his shot mechanics/footwork/release, because he's all over the place and that is a longgg/hitchy release.

But if he can rebound i'd take him as a glue-guy in a heartbeat.

He actually has a very good release and follow through, and he has perfect rotation on his shot. I agree though, it is ugly getting there, and if he ever wants to be able to get shots off quickly or shoot off the dribble, he needs to change his stroke.

It's not a ton different than Rashad just lower and more side of the head……turns out to have a nice touch despite some ugliness maybe? if indeed he can get to the rim when he wants he will have more time to shoot the ball at times. ……looks like a player you just have to root for and wants to be real good. Having now seen what his coach is saying in regards to UConn and PT early if he does select UConn it makes him even better than I thought. All the others are showing him the court right away while they do see a crowd un his way at UConn. He seems to love a challenge and likes to win so we'll see…..

Chris Clarke (2015 6’6″ 200 lbs. Cape Henry): If you had to draft a team just on intensity and going hard, Clarke would be hard to pass up number one overall. His motor is top notch and so is his aggression when he’s in attack mode– which seems to be every play. While we praise his motor, it will also be important for Chris to play more under control. Clarke is a skilled and athletic transition small forward who can either create above the rim or finish at the rim through contact. As quiet as it’s kept, he even showed some ability to find open teammates with some nice open court passing. He’s also willing rebounder who can help out on the glass. His shot is streaky at best and that must improve. He will also want to add a mid-range game that he can go to. Chris’ quickness and size at his position make him someone who can guard multiple positions and possibly even develop himself in to a lockdown defender.

Andre and Rudy didn't contribute much to our NCAA success, but it's good for the program to have alumni starring in the NBA. Every other early departure we've had has been a major contributor in college. There's been no great player that I wish we hadn't gotten. Several lousy players I wish we hadn't gotten.

The only players I regret are the ones that transferred or left in bad academic standing.

So why exactly is KO flying to VA to see Clarke post visit ? Customary in this recruiting period ?
Expand ...

he did the same with Cassell Jr...and yes you do see it often with coaches doing home/HS visits after campus visits

Only thing that makes sense . Full on verbal or maybe a silent commit.

Or maybe Clarke forgot something in KO's office and he's bringing it back (as long as he has a plane handy).

But that's a good sign too - it's the old "leave something behind so you have to see the person again" trick.

I'm expecting a Chris Clarke commitment by tomorrow evening. Fingers Crossed.
 
Hearing it's not an in-home visit. Ollie will just be at his workout tonight as of now.

Now that's an interesting question. I dislike Buzz more he seems like he has the worst traits of Cal, Pitino and Huggins all mixed together. Cronin may be an angry little leprechaun but he at least seems like a decent enough person.
