KOBE CLARK "THE GLUE GUY" Versatile Vashon forward Kobe Clark(6-6 175) has been a key component to Wolverine success over the past two seasons. A rising star who is now drawing interest from Power Five programs is the next selection in the MOsports.com Super 50 rankings. Clark does it all for Vashon, at times he plays point guard, at times he plays center.

Damn he's all over the place, playing smart and unselfish ball. I'm just saying this would be a miss we need to get him on campus for a visit! KOBE CLARK "THE GLUE GUY"

On the Hoyas' radar: The Hoyas are just a few days away from learning their fate with Canadian four-star Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe, who visited earlier this month. D.C.-area native Darius Miles is a four-star who has always been high on the Hoyas and they’ve turned up their pursuit of three-star wing Kobe Clark, who ranks just outside of the Rivals150. If 2021 five-star Moussa Cisse reclassifies, they could be in the mix there as well. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/bossi-s-best-programs-that-can-score-big-with-late-signings

Harris, Beard, and Clark? A 3-guard class? With MAM and Sibley. I'd take those 5, with Mac, Blair, Pickett, Q-Dub, Tim-Iggy, and Malcolm returning. Plus a Terrell Allen grad transfer type at PG. We'd be ready to rock and roll again. FWIW, in recent articles Kobe Clark is being listed as 6'6" or 6'7".

Perhaps I should have said 3 players with guard skills. Kobe runs PG for his high school team at times. I imagine he projects at the next level as a potential lead guard/point forward. Which would be great with that height.

We have a timetable for Moncrieffe. How imminent is Kobe Clark's decision?

I hope KOBE CLARK "THE GLUE GUY" is feeling all this Hoya love because he would be a very good fit on a PE team. Especially, with this new "Junkyard Dog" environment!

After MAM makes his decision Frankie Collins should be the staffs top priority.
He’s OV for the nova game. He would be a program changing lead guard.
Add hopefully MAM and or Kobe Clark
And then add Frankie Collins reclassified
A class of Beard, MAM/Clark Collins, Beard, Sibley, Harris gives us a very strong foundation going forward

Adding both Moncrieffe & Clark (don't know the likelihood, but there's definitely room) would move us to right around the #20 overall class on 24/7. Two 4*, two 3*, and Harris, who by all accounts - stats, Mr Basketball finalist - is playing stellar ball. All guys in positions of need. That's much closer to where we need to be every year (I realize the quantity helps the rating). I just hope it's enough -- with a final piece or two -- to make us competitive as soon as next year. Beard/Harris McClung/Blair Moncrieffe/Clark Pickett/Sibley Wahab/Igoehoefe/Wilson ** 2 open spots '21-'22 looks pretty bright in that scenario. Senior Mac, Junior Qudus, more depth & experience, and maybe a '21 stud or two. That roster along with a transfer PG/Frankie Collins and Ewings fiery coaching should be a NCAA tournament team all day. Unless we run a 3 guard set, one of Mac or Blair will have to come off the bench, which would be a tough pill to swallow for either junior Mac or senior Juggy. Also with that roster, Pickett will be on a much shorter leash (ie he would have been glued to the bench after all those misses in the paint last night). Let's hope MAM pops for the Hoyas tomorrow and Kobe follows thereafter. Otherwise Ewing will have to pull off some magic to build a roster that won't be disappointing next year.

Its possible that next year may be our toughest year (record wise) under Ewing, but also the year that holds the most promise for the future. Understanding the type of program we are, we have to assume that Georgetown is going to give Pat a reset based on the events of this year, and give him an opportunity to rebuild next year. I like all of our recruits, but because of our decimated roster, we are likely to have kids in the rotation that in another program you wouldn't expect to be contributing major minutes until year 2-3. This will not be the 2008 Hoyas with McD AA's Wright, Freeman and Macklin coming off the bench. Experience of Allen and Mosely will be difficult to replace. My guess is that if all breaks right, 2022 is the year we return to the tournament. Maybe Im missing something, but I expect the team can be improved next year. Mosely and Allen will be tough to replace. We have a natural replacement for Yurt and the development of Wilson and Tim could provide cover. Pickett and Blair will be seniors. Mac will be a a junior. Beard/Sibley/Clark all have the ability to contribute Day 1. Of course, we would be expecting a lot from Beard and its why I think a grad transfer PG would be a massive addition. But, next years team should be more talented the the scaled down version of this years team. Agreed. Allen and Mosley’s leadership will be missed but I think we will be more talented next year (compared to our current roster, not beginning of year roster). Beard can step right in a be a productive PG immediately and Kobe looks like he can play the 3. We aren’t getting many points from Mosley (I think his shoulder has been bothering him for a the past month), just solid D and good decision making which Kobe seems capable of. Mac will be a year older (and healthy), Blair looks so much more comfortable/confident, Qudus will be a year older/more skilled, and Pickett could certainly have a breakout year. There are a lot of stars leaving the conference, I’d be surprised if we struggled in conference next year-especially if we add a solid grad/juco piece...

I think it is borderline unrealistic to expect the team to be better next year. Just casually throwing out that Kobe Clark can do the same thing sr. year Mosely is providing this team just highlights our over-excitement for freshmen based on highlight videos. And that is not a shot at Kobe or the rest of the class. Ewing is clearly gravitating to under-recruited / chip on their shoulder guys (either by choice, or maybe necessity) and I hope by the time they're upper classmen this program is back where we all want it to be. But we're losing 3 of a 7 man rotation. Asking Wahab to provide the same offensive anchor that Yurt7 does is a lot. Mosely and Allen are our two best perimeter defenders by far. And our defense is still 120th in the country. Neither Pickett nor Mac have shown to be an offensively efficient player against Big East competition. Freshmen are going to make freshmen mistakes. There will be turnovers and poor decisions...and then glimmers of hope for the future that get us excited. Hope they prove me wrong and i'll gladly admit it next March if we're dancing

Hope they prove me wrong and i'll gladly admit it next March if we're dancing I absolutely love Allen and Mosely and they have given us everything they have this year. Their leadership and grit have helped push us through. In terms of their actual play........they've been....ok..... How else would we describe it? Im under the assumption that a grad PG will be on the way because I don't expect the reigns to be given to 2 freshman. As much as Yurt gives us at times, at times he's completely unplayable. I expect us to be better at the 5 spot next year (considering offense and defense) because it will be another year of growth from all 3 of the centers. Mac is Mac obviously but he's still just a sophomore and I think we've seen gradual improvement. Blair has been a revelation and if given the chance can score a ton of buckets next year. This team right now has no margin of error and if 1-2 guys aren't on, then its really difficult to overcome. Next year there will be more depth all around. I think people tend to dismiss that players will typically improve year to year and focus on what we are losing.

It's not like Pat didn't just put the O in the hands of 2 frosh guards last year....last year we had a Jr and 2 Srs...next year we will have 1 Jr and 2 Srs....and I think the board is really sleeping on Dante...his speed with the ball will be something we haven't had since Chris or Kel.....

Formerly signed to Southeast Missouri, Hinton would have been a massive steal at that level. I loved watching him play last summer with Team Rose. He’s still considering them after the hiring of Brad Korn (who helped recruit high school teammate Dajuan Gordon to Kansas State a year ago). He has also added offers from Colorado State, New Mexico and Tulsa while Illinois, Iowa State and Murray State have been active to varying degrees. I know that it’s not an easy time to recruit guys right now, but he’s a junkyard dog on the wing who could really help somebody out and at a fairly high level. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/three-point-play-not-much-left-in-2020-jordan-nesbitt-two-in-chicagoI get that the cupboard of talent in the class of 2020 is pretty empty at this point and I understand that many coaches have chosen to go the transfer route to fill out open scholarships. Still, I don’t understand how a player like Ramean Hinton of Chicago (Ill.) Curie isn’t picking up more interest. Originally signed to play at Southeast Missouri State, the 6-foot-5 Hinton was one of the biggest steals in the class of 2020. A true junkyard dog who ranks amongst the top-40 wing players in the senior class, he’s an intense competitor who makes things happen on drives to the rim and projects as a potentially big-time defender. When he first opened things up in March, Hinton heard from Illinois, Iowa State and Tulsa while SEMO tried to get him back in the fold. Of late, Colorado State, Missouri State and Wisconsin-Green Bay have been kicking the tires a bit but nobody has really been going all out. I feel programs from the upper mid-major to even high major level would be wise to do some more checking on Hinton because there’s still time to land a guy who could really be a quality late addition. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/three-point-play-rylan-griffen-ramean-hinton-kai-sotto#23 going against Kobe Clark's team this year...
