One Final James Clark Thread

Starting a fresh thread for James Clark.  11W seems to think he chooses Florida tomorrow, but aren't 100% set on that.

Interesting that 24/7's JC Shurburtt is projecting him to OSU, although Gerry Hamilton says Florida.  Rivals's Ryan Bartow also sees him going to OSU.

Would love to have Clark.

"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.

I think we will land him and Bell.  Clark knows UF has 5 WR's already and Bell knows UT won't compete for titles.  I think they both end up at OSU.

I like the way you think.

 

And you've been calling it for days that we'll end 3/3 on our targets.  You're 1/1 so far, and we all hope you're proved right!

HAIL, to be completely fair your class is pretty good, I mean not as good as what Urban is putting together, but still respectable compared to the rest of the B1G. With that being said, I cant wait for Urban and his freshman playmakers to kick TTUN ass twice next year. (Last game and B1G Championship)

This is true...I was just a bit upset that D.Green and D.Smith chose tTUN.  I liked both of them at RB...but that's bc I love the Beanie types of RBs.  Not to mention the rest of the Olinemen I wanted...as Buck110893 was spot on...you guys got a damn good class Hail.

This would be fantastic as I'm anticipating Jacobs flip (see other thread) based on family, proximity, and now a logjam at slot/WR/athlete. This would leave us at 24. Could we bank a scholly? I've looked past those questions in the past as I never thought it would come into play.

Great find man...this makes me think differently about landing Clark over FL (considering UFM is no longer at FL and is with good guys;-)

Hmm, but this doesn't sounds very promising.

Relevant quote (bolded added for emphasis):

"He took his final visit of the recruiting cycle this past weekend with an unofficial trip to Gainesville where the Gators had one last shot to sway Clark in their favor.

"The Florida vist was great and I got to see the academic side of things that I hadn't really seen before," Clark said. "It was a good experience and it definitely changes a lot of things ... I was able to find out more information about things. I wouldn't say my opinion changed, but it definitely opened up my eyes to a few things and now I definitely know where I want to go."

Nice story here on James Clark's signing.

Relevant quote:

“It was really hard. Florida is a great school. Ohio State, I felt it was the right place for me. Coach Meyer told me, ‘Don’t come to Ohio State unless I was ready to make grown man moves. That’s what I had to do.”

Clark said he became very close to Meyer during the recruitment process.

“Coach Meyer and I are very close. He’s like a second dad for me.”

Clark has been clocked in the 40-yard dash at 4.38 seconds and at 10.43 for 100 meters on the track."

Kid also has a 3.98 GPA.  Good get? No, GREAT get.
