We were wrong

We went out on a limb Wednesday and offered that Lone Star State backcourter Jordan Clarkson wouldn't leave Texas when he made his choice of college.

He did.

Clarkson moved one state up, deciding to cast his lot with Tulsa. Nevada had been associated with Clarkson but to what degree of actual seriousness is unknown.

Here is Dave Telep's article on Clarkson and his choice. A Scout sub is required.

Additionally, another prospect mentioned in connection to the Wolf Pack, Rayvonte Rice out of Illinois, has just pledged to Drake.

Texas backcourter with a Nevada mention

In a Rivals article posted today, Lone Star State guard Jordan Clarkson just finished a trip to SMU and he is heading to Texas A&M. Tulsa has already received a Clarkson visit. Nevada gets a mention as one of three schools in the running for his final two officials.

The recruiting process is right in the thick of things for Converse shooting guard Jordan Clarkson. After taking a trip to Tulsa for the first weekend of official visits, the 2010 guard hit up an official to SMU late last week...

He certainly sounds like a good get for whoever lands him. Our gut level feeling is he doesn't leave Texas.

Another look at Jordan Clarkson

We posted something earlier this week from Rivals on Texas backcourter Jordan Clarkson that indicated he was receiving low and mid level recruiting interest, including a mention of Boise State.

SMU, TCU, Texas Tech, Tulsa and Indiana State have offered but Clarkson now just did an unofficial visit with Texas.

It was probably a longshot to begin with but it seems any association of Clarkson and Boise State is tenuous.

The crazy, confounding world of recruiting morphs daily.

Texan Jordan Clarkson mentions Boise State

6-foot-3 backcourter Jordan Clarkson is generating interest from a number of schools although only Prairie View has offered to date. Maybe Boise State can dip back into Texas in the hopes of replacing Lone Star Stater Anthony Thomas.

6-foot-3 wing, Jordan Clark isn't sure if he will wait for the late signing period before he makes a decision, but he definitely has a head start with handful of colleges calling.

"I've been getting calls here and there," said Clark. "I am happy with the attention of the college coaches and they seem interested."

Clark has a list of schools that stretch across the country...

A Nevada recruiting target?

Here's a Texas prepster with a Nevada mention As an aside and we are making an assumption here but how many young males were named Jordan because of you-know-who?

6-foot-4 and 170-pound point guard Jordan Clarkson of San Antonio (TX) Wagner High School attended an Elite Camp at the University of Tulsa earlier this month and came away impressed.

He has five offers at the moment with the Wolf Pack in the group still assessing.
