What else do we know about Jason Clark? Does anyone have him ranked?
Who else is he considering?
Didn't we just get 2 great guards? How badly do we want to add Jason?

What else do we know about Jason Clark? Does anyone have him ranked? Who else is he considering? Didn't we just get 2 great guards? How badly do we want to add Jason? He's only going to be a JR this year at O'Connell and he was All Met last year--believe me made 2nd or 3rd Team. He's started at O'Connell since he was a FR and had Villanova, Maryland, UVA, and numerous others showing interest--but wants to stay local--he'd be coming in when Wallace, Crawford have graduated, Sapp, Thornton would be SR's, and Rivers a JR, Wright/Freeman Soph's. Never have enough depth/talent and Clark is a player--not just a guard--as is important in Hoyas system--versatile. One of the finest rebounders for his size in country too--guy can really get to glass. If he's been offered by Staff--then he's someone we as fans should want--these guys know what they are doing and it's JUST SICK what is going on with Hoya Recruiting!  |

So, in trying to find more info on this guy, I looked at the 2008 rankings on Scout and Rivals, and Jason Clark was in neither of them. The guy sounds like a stud--so why isn't he in the rankings?

For some reason his rankings have always seemed a little low to me. He is a 4 star guy on Scout and didn't make Rivals top 100... But he was the most productive sophomore in the area last year. He can score and he bring a lot else to the table. Very well-rounded. As you can tell by his list a lot of high majors want him especially in the Big East/ACC. He is definitely very talented. And with Jon and Tyler leaving, and a few scholarships open, I think we'd like to bring in at least one '08 guard to bring along behind Chris and Austin. Jason's a combo, so that works well.

Thanks for the info. Any time we can pull a recruit Nova and the Twerps I'm excited.
What an amazing last week. Hopefully we can wrap up Clark this week as well.
After Clark, who is the next priority for 2008?

I think Scout only has a top 50 for '08 - since he is 4 star I imagine he'd make their top 100 when that comes out.

for anyone wondering why he isn't ranked, I pose the question...
...why wasn't Jeff Green ranked by anyone until the very end of his senior year of high school?
these experts miss some guys and simply don't evaluate everyone accurately. They may do a good job for the most part, but there will always be players that they miss and thats why you have to trust a good coaching staff to make their own evaluation and decide how good that player can be and how much of an impact they can have in their particular system.

Also consider Jason didn't play for a major AAU program until this summer when he started to play with Boo Williams, a team that also had Chris Wright (and Ed Davis, Patrick Patterson, etc.) and so may not have allowed him to really shine. He was great in WCAC play last season though and really was the main reason why Austin, Chris Bras, and the Stags didn't go undefeated.

I understand that you can miss guys, but not a high-major kid from DC.

I understand that you can miss guys, but not a high-major kid from DC. When they are only a sophomore you can. And Jeff Green was also a high major from the DC Area, and he was missed. |

Hell... the scouts missed many of the guys in that GMU program, many of whom are locals.

I understand that guys can get missed, but is it a coincidence that most good teams are loaded with rated talent? I'm just sayin'...

green wasn't really missed, but more overlooked. several major teams tried to come into the running at the end but jeff, to his credit, remained loyal to us. in fact, i was in a golf tournament with mike hopkins and he was saying how they hoped to get jeff to commit to them but they were too late in going after him.

For those who do not know it, Jason plays at O'Connell High School in Arlington VA under Coach Joe Wooten who is the son of famed Morgan Wooten who coached at DeMatha for years and is in the basketball Hall of Fame. JTII and Morgan apparently never got along and Georgetown got no recruits for many years from DeMatha, a national powerhouse. Getting commitments from two DeMatha players and on the list for possibly getting one from O'Connell seems to indicate the rift with the Wootens is over. Incidentally, just a few days ago Joe Wooten donated one of his kidneys to his father, Morgan.
