Skyy Clark in the gym

[Cawood86_rivals]

I guess you thought Chuck Hayes was over weight as well who had the same type of build as Clark?

Hayes was a PF, Clark is a PG. Big difference.

They are guys who know the UK staff and speak with them about players and don't have any agenda in play-they don't have guys they'll promote because they want to get someone on. Most top programs have people connected who attend events when coaches can't that the programs trust. Or you can rely on a guy who is not watching, goes to stat sheet. Ever been to an event? If so, I'd suggest a live event. The amount of coaches/media who are talking with each other, never watch a second of the game taking place is stunning considering it's their livelihood. Ranking players is is about interest and pandering to those who will buy subscriptions. It's usually quite easy to evaluate top tier players. In a class as deep as '22 it's not easy.

Now one legit ? that very well could be why Clarks' been outplayed to this point that is something I think will make sense to you is he's not played a lot since '19/20. Leading into this year's AAU season-he played around 15/16 games total. Other guys were playing. You can't expect to be great on the court when you just workout and never compete. Maybe it's that simple and he's ready to explode and have a great rest of AAU season heading into Montverde? If he stays committed to UK, hope that is 100% the case. But to this point, he'd been outplayed. Shot better at CP3 event and some things he's going to struggle with-he lacks lateral quickness and gets destroyed when he's defending the ball. That will be an issue no matter how improved he gets-but if he can at least balance it out offensively, it'll lead to more weekends like CP3 and less like the prior events leading into that.

Why would he have had a horrible visit? What's that got to do with anything? When I asked if he played pickup, it's a legit question because most players run with the team on a visit. It's not negative or positive, it's a question.

I don't ask for anyone to say anything in response to what I post. If you have issue with those posters, take it up with them. Have I ever asked for people to support what I share? I just laugh how if it's positive, everyone wants to go nuts and if it's not so great, then they hate it and it's negative and agenda driven etc..... It's just what's being stated. If the same guys talk up players who end up coming to UK and are great, nobody has an issue and asks about their credentials but if it's not what YOU want to hear, then they do have an agenda aren't credible?

I like your posts. Don't worry what the crybabies think or say. They are cheerleaders who think anyone who dares say something that isn't praise is a not a fan. Don't waste your time on them.

I respect you a great deal. This is one you may want to step back from. It almost feels personal at this point. You have absolutely obliterated this kid man.

Skyy being attached to Justus doesn't help

I used to respect him. But anybody who truly had the opinion he did would just state it and move on. It’s honestly strange the beating he has given Skyy in basically any thread he’s brought up. Even if you don’t think he’s the top player as his position or even in the class, He’s still a top player so what does it matter? He’s still skilled and will help our team. Seems like the guy avoided him on the circuit or something, or maybe going this hard on a guy “proves” he’s connected because he can throw out all this stuff about the behind the scenes family and coaches hearsay that will never be proven one way or another.

I don’t think anyone deserves a five star ranking if they get destroyed defensively. We have had some guys like that and they don’t play. I can see the worry in that for sure.

Players who aren’t laterally quick are the same players who get destroyed by smaller guards. Imagine Clarke in the elite 8 and the opposing team has a 5’8” PG by the name of Daeshun Ruffin (who torched clarke last year) and Ruffin just blows past him.

 

[UK-Chulo]

Clark is one of those PGs that is not big enough to bully and not quick enough to scoot past. Will be interesting what bag of tricks he has to be effective. Maybe he has a high BB IQ or is shifty. Either way can't imagine Cal only having one PG on deck.

KSR gave the list of players that were contacted on the first day of official contact. There were several pg/cg/sg on the list. So, you are correct, Clark is not the only one on deck for next season.

He looks like Briscoe with a jumper

 

[cats#1again]

Let me ask you something unemployed man from warren county, do you have sources within the AAU circuit that have watched Skyy? If the answer is no STFU and post more hype articles. Interesting you say that ralphdalton’s posts are RUMORS when they are facts of people who’ve watched Clarke IN PERSON on the aau circuit.The facts say AAU boys think Bryce Warren would’ve been a better guard than Clarke if he started in Clarke’s place on Mokan’s team. They also say the guys who watched Clarke would take 25 guards over Skyy. They also say Skyy was shopping around for other schools before he visited UK. He left Brentwood because his coach told him to drop 20 pounds to play. Sorry i’m a little hesitant to buy into the hype of this guy. The fact he was shopping around on UK makes me weary as well. But keep his “root” in your mouth.

Richie is the biggest clown on here. Tight race but he wins.. every clip I've seen of the kid looks like a strong pg.
Anyone ever think maybe he's over highschool ball and just going through the motions? He's got a strong lower body and decent shot.
Again, if chin and Antigua want him
I'll take their opinion

Dude, you said BJ Boston is a gifted athlete and that you would take SGA over Ulis. Was Boston just over college basketball? Foh

 

[cats#1again]

BTW Smash, thanks for sharing this and I really like these workouts Skyy is doing compared to the nonsense that was being posted earlier in season with suspecting training/drills being conducted by Andrew Fleming who was a hype man/cheerleader more then pushing his development. His shot looks better and it's functional workout where you see how it applies to a game. Watching that goofball Andrew Fleming 180 twirling spin/stepback 3 as if that was something.......Clark family did well seeking new training. That will pay off.

Richie said this was another hype video from his camp...
Learn from your mistakes rich. Don't go acting like you're informed when you aren't. Ask this kind gentleman Mr Dalton his opinion before you post next time

“looks like”

 

[Shaudylo]

He does look big but wouldnt say he was fat .
Some pgs are naturally thick like Kyle Lowry

He’s a Cal first fan for sure. That much I do know.

I loved Ulis but honestly, I can understand if many would not take him over SGA.
