I keep seeing a lot of smoke via 247/Rivals with Clark + Buffs. Any news here. Would love to have this kid!
 
I’d love to have him, but hard to see another guard. I guess CU would play 3-4 guards and 1-2 bigs at all times. In a way it seems like Tad ball...

Doesn't sound like we're involved:
"In the fall, Clark was all but set to commit to New Mexico. For one reason or another, his pledge never came and then Colorado, who was also heavily involved, fell out of contention which made Clark reset his recruitment entirely.

The two schools in contact with him the most now are Arizona and Oklahoma."

Will Duke push its 2020 recruiting class to seven in the spring?

Yeah, just did some looking around, and didn't see anything recent. I am one of those cheap-asses though that doesn't have any paid subscription, even to Barzil, so maybe there's hidden, premium info I'm not privy to. From what's freely accessible, I see that the only crystal ball on 247 is to USC, and he has a visit set to OU on 1/24. OU was not one of his "top 6" though like we were, not that means anything, but one of his other top 6, Xavier, may be moving on from him (mutually) based on an article I found. His only reported official is to UNM, and he did retweet a Lobo tweet awhile back.

But we and UNM are listed as "warmer" on 247. While we need some frontcourt depth, this is the type of kid we need to fill out most of our classes. I wasn't the biggest fan of signing both Kountz and Parquet, but whatever...I'm not in the camp that we pass on Clark just because we need other positions. He's not a OAD talent, but he's really good.

edit: nm I guess - thanks Jeric!

From an article by Josh Gershon a few days ago:

Clark was set for a Sept. 13 official visit to Colorado, where he was planning on committing, until local wing Dominique Clifford took the scholarship hours before Clark could step foot on the plane headed to Boulder.

“I was supposed to go to Colorado,” Clark said. “That’s where I was going. Things happened, a kid committed before me and I was just like, ‘Whoa.’ My whole world got flipped upside down. You know you have your heart set on one place and it doesn’t happen like that.”

With Colorado out, Clark decided to restart his recruitment from scratch and waited until the spring rather than make a sped-up decision in the fall.

Top 75 Jaylen Clark begins official visit to UCLA

Jaylen Clark could be getting closer to a decision as the Top 100 wing is currently on an official visit to UCLA, which has momentum in his recruitment.

Well this kind of hit me in the gut this morning. Top 100 prospect in our grasp and ready to commit, like what? Man I wish we had room for him. He looks like a rough and tough guard with attitude that we could really use.
 
I guess I will add my two cents worth and say I am also confused. Granted, we would have multiple wings all around the same height, but you don’t pass up a talent like this when he wants to come.
 
Wow...well that's a frustrating thing to read... ....I'm one of the many that isn't fully on the LOB train. Clifford looks like a decent player, and I know LOB's scoring well this season. But, this is frustrating to read. I'm cool w recruiting CO, but when it comes to denying Clark, I question this emphasis on CO. ... ................frustrating to read.
 
you've got to be kidding me, come on Tad, that's tough for a 17/18 year old to handle

still really enjoying the ride this season, but this **** ticks me off, especially when defenders of Tad's recruiting use excuses like "Colorado isn't a hotbed of talent, CU doesn't have the basketball pedigree, we recruit clean, etc"

pains me to think of seeing another missed recruit tearing it up on a rival Pac-12 team
