I think Clarke will come in and be a workhorse off the bench next season and be a future star. Would love him. Jones to me is Sticks 2.0 which isnt a bad thing but would rather Clarke.
I agree completely. Plus, Clarke seems like he can be a defensive stopper. If Clarke were to commit this fall, I don't think we stop recruiting jones. The issue with taking both isn't whether they could play together on the Court IMO. Giffey and Kromah managed to work well together and compliment each other off the bench resulting in the National Championship.
The problem with taking both is whether there is an opportunity cost by not taking other potential recruits. With Adams in the fold, if we get Clarke and Enoch this fall, then the final slot available assuming no transfers or early entries in the draft, would be available for Briscoe, Newman, Stone, Comanche, Baptiste, Koumadje or Jones.
I would be good with Jones as the final commit in that group, but he is not deciding until the spring and we would be better off with another big first, preferably Stone, Comanche, or Baptiste in that order.
If we strike out this fall on those three, then we still have Jones, Briscoe and Newman all of who have said they won't likely decide until the spring when the transfer/early entry picture will be more clear.
Frankly, I would be thrilled with any of those three to compliment Enoch, Clarke, and Adams. Bottom line ... We are in great position - just need to close and get the commits.
