Clark has to step up...

[sdcloud9]

Clark has to get it going, he can't be MIA against the good teams. OU needed him to be a player tonight and he disappeared.

OU has little margin for error against good teams, it has to hit on all cylinders.

Very disappointing game for Cam. Zero points on 0-7 shooting to go with only 3 rebounds. He has to play better for OU to be successful.

 

[OklaSooners]

Cam Clark is very overrated. 4 out of 5 games he is a no show. Don't count on Clark, that way when he does have a good game it will be a bonus

 

[MercedeSooner]

Cam is a soft player right now. He needs to toughen up and not let physical play affect him like it did tonight.

I can't tell you how disappointing it was watching the game, seeing the Cincy players know if they got physical with him he would just wilt away.

I'm starting to be concerned Cam transfers. He just seems lost.

 

[WTSooner]

I've probably been harder on Cam than anybody else on this board. I like his athleticism, but I've never liked his game much. The worst thing about Cam right now is that when he isn't scoring, he isn't contributing anything else. We aren't talented enough to beat the good teams when that happens.

Biggest problem right here, he is too athletic not to be helping out in other areas. Been harping on it since he stepped on campus.

He plays too fast for himself. He needs to body up to the contact, slow down, and use that quickness as a surprise to the defender rather than a risk of a turnover for himself. If he just scaled back his speed on about 90% of what he does he would be fine.

 

[Big Old Booger]

Cam has the talent but does he have the "want-to"? That seems to be the question so far.

Average player.

 

[cowboysooner]

I think Clark is a good player that hasn't even come close to reaching his ceiling. He has a lot of work to do, and in a number of areas.

He has had some good games this year, but played poorly yesterday. I'm sure Lon and the staff will have him use the game film to better himself.

I'm not down on Cam at all. Like everyone on the team, he just needs to keep working.

 

[SoonerinNC]

We need at least 25 points from Clark and Pledger. Yesterday we got 11.

Why in the world would Cam Clark transfer. He is starting and playing close to home. His team will be better next year and he will be a go to guy his senior year. Transfering would be silly.

If by "go to guy" you mean a top 2 scoring option, I'm going to say no he won't.

I don't think he is good enough to become that. JMO. If he is a top 2 scoring option, it either means I was way wrong about him, or we won't be very good.

Right off the bat I'd "think" M'Baye will be a better scoring option. I also have high hopes for guys like Hield and Hornbeak, and guys like Parker and Woodard, if we get them.

Clark's performance last night was very predictable. He has virtually no confidence in his ball handling, so he took himself out of the game. As his confidence in his ball handling improves he will be more of a factor in games like this. The good news is that he is noticeably more confident than last year so we have a reason to expect continued improvement.
