Sometimes a program and the wonderful kids who form it don't need shills in the media. Just tell their stories.
Kids like Jason are winners, regardless of the final score of any game or the winner of any tournament.
That said, let's win 5 more.

Jason Clark is just another fantastic example of what it means to be a Hoya. The kid has done nothing but meaningfully contribute for all four years. I am proud to see the name of our university on the front of his shirt.
I like routing for Jason. I wish nothing but the best for him in the tourney and beyond.

Wow! This young man is a winner, not only in basketball, but also in life. I know JT 3 wished he could recruit 13 more just like him.

No matter what happens on the court these are the types of stories that make it great to be a Hoyas' fan. It seems that JT3 really looks to recruit a specific type of person, one with integrity. This isn't the first time we have read a story like this about a Hoya and I am sure it will not be the last. It is refreshing to see in today's college sports environment. I will be extremely proud to be a fellow alumn with Jason and the rest of our Hoyas.

I failed too. I've always admired Jason's motor and he always seemed like a really good guy. It's nice to read a personal story that confirms it. I remember when Jason's grandmother passed. I didn't realize how young she was. Very, very sad. Any grandparent would be proud of what Jason has done. Class act all the way.

In October of 2010, I flew out to DC to watch the Hoyas "Open practice" and meet the team. I had the opportunity to talk with Jason for a few minutes that morning as young Hoya fans were getting in line to get their autographs from their favorite Hoyas. I was so impressed with Jason. He was a sincere, polite, intelligent young man. This story doesn't surprise me at all. He is a very good basketball player, but even a better person.

Yup.. he is a great Hoya and person ... very proud he is a fellow Hoya.Hope the guys win this thing for him, his grandma, henry and for themselves. These are the stories why i think we all appreciate our alma mater, its coach, his program and the way he does things and most of all these great young men.. Jason is a special person. He represents a lot of the guys on this team who Im sure have similar stories . GO Hoyas and go Jason.

Here's to hoping that these seniors never lose another game in a Georgetown uniform. I'm gonna be crushed when their time here is up. Great players, great representatives of the school, and even better people.

Great story but what idiot chose that picture to go with it? Horrible pic of Jason and he's fouling the guy besides.

It's what I like least about March Madness. Knowing that some guys won't be back next year. Jason is one of those guys that you can see how hard he works. The guy leads by example and he'll be sorely missed next year. |

Great story, highlighting what a great person Jason Clark is. I wish we could read more about the people these kids are versus all the basketball stuff. It makes you more sincere to say I am rooting for Jason Clark to succeed in life, not just basketball. Given the way he was raised, I have no doubt he will succeed but I wish him all the best.
