Tulsa basketball lands Jordan Clarkson

[thebigabd]

Had offers from Tulsa, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UTEP, TCU, Nevada, and SMU.

Clarkson is rated the #4 prospect in Texas... Huh? I mean, he sounds like a good player but is he really above Cameron Clark, TJ Taylor, Michael Cobbins, Ricky Scott, and Jamel Outler?

ESPN: Clarkson has a long, lean, athletic body and above average ball handling skills. Jordan showed that he can do a variety of dribble moves to get by his defender. He can go full steam dribbling in the open court. He prefers to drive right and is not as explosive to the left. Clarkson is an aggressive scorer that was able to score with floaters, pull-ups, left or right hand finishes, off the dribble three or catch and shoot three. In the open court he can mimic the Manu Ginobili long step.

Rivals has very good reports on Clarkson as well....

Wojcik has done a tremendous job for 2010...

-Scottie Haralson (6'4'' 220 transfer from UCONN who was the Mississippi Player of the Year in high school)....

-Jordan Clarkson (6'3'' 175 who had several Big 12 offers and is ranked above lots of big time talent somehow. Either way, great sign for Tulsa)

-DJ Magley (6'9'' 255 transfer from Western Kentucky. Was a top 100 player out of high school)

-Tim Peete (6'4'' 180 guard out of Memphis. 3 star rating)

-Blondy Baruti (6'9'' 215 out of Arizona. Chose Tulsa over San Diego State, Boise, and SMU. Very raw and from the Congo.. a project type).

What do you mean ranked above big time talent? Are you referring solely to Kunstadt's rankings?

But yeah, looks like a nice class.

No excuses not to start winning ALOT of games, very soon.

He better get Tharone Chilton. A kid who is probably the best player in the state along with Dominique Raney.

Its them or Memphis every year now... Memphis keeps bringing in top talent, so he is going to need to keep top talent coming to TU.
