2013 WR James Clark of New Symrna Beach FL. to Ohio State

[UFFL]

Thanks guys. Clark announces at 9 AM Wednesday so we'll find out pretty early

[GATORDONE]

[Lawdog88]

Interpreting body language from one split second is useless.


Exactly that. Could be anything from tiredness, to being slightly overwhelmed by the entire process, and anything else.

I like it that his Dad is with him. Looks like a good Pop and concerned for his young man. A young man from a close family (yes, I am assuming things just from the pictures) with a good mind and head in the right place, can be a good influence on his other teammates.

Anyway, he will probably be relieved when the deal is done on Wednesday, and I hope the deal is all Gator.

[Gatorrick22]

Gator! :yes:

He is going to Florida

[thedyc09]

I'm guessing he committed to Muschamp over the weekend. Looking to see if Urban goes after another WR after whiffing on Quick and Clark and (likely) the Oregon guys he was targeting.

[UFFL]

He is going to Florida

How do you know?

[G8RNTN]

How do you know?

I don't think he "knows" but guessing off of what others are saying. IMO

[GATORAZ]

How do you know?

just trust me on this one

[UFFL]

just trust me on this one

I trust you

[thedyc09]

FWIW, Clark made it known that he was going to silently commit on Sunday. He spent the whole weekend at UF. Put two and two together here, folks.

[Nicho]

Man, this WR class is headed for a grade of A+++.

[GatorAvatar]

At this stage, its all a wait and see game. I'm happy with our class. All this chatter about surprises, silent commits doesn't sway me. Been burned enough on NSD in the past, with Agholor, Howard and Diggs being good examples.

[Gatorhall]

Gator-book it!

[DieAGator]

FWIW, Clark made it known that he was going to silently commit on Sunday.

It's two days before NSD, why be silent? Seems kind of odd. I don't doubt he's committed, just that it doesn't seem like there's any reason, unless staff doesn't want to push out another WR we have.

[rserina]

Simple: he wants to announce on signing day.

[UFFL]

Yeah he bought the hats he wants to have fun

[MadduxFanII]

Yeah he bought the hats he wants to have fun

But who paid for the hats? Are we expected to believe that a high schooler was able to pay upwards of $15 APIECE for three different hats?

SCANDAL! I call shenanigans!

Clemson apparently offered him an endless supply of cocaine-laced hats.

[bleedorangeblue]

Anybody know if Timmons' decision(if he picks the Gators) on Tuesday affects Clark's decision on Wednesday?

[GATORAZ]

Anybody know if Timmons' decision(if he picks the Gators) on Tuesday affects Clark's decision on Wednesday?

dont think it will

[UFFL]

Does Dontre Wilson's commitment to OSU change anything? Seems like he's meant to fill that Percy role, which is what Urban was selling Clark on. I know we have plenty of receivers now, but none of them fill the role that Clark does.

No, I think he was a Gator either way.

[gator1986]

dont think it will

I heard we could take 8 receivers? Is that possible? I wouldn't mind a bunch of playmakers!

[StrangeGator]

I heard we could take 8 receivers? Is that possible? I wouldn't mind a bunch of playmakers!

Who would number eight be? I'm guessing we only take six. We've never taken more than that. If we did, some of them would move to defense. Hawkins is an outstanding safety and has the size to possibly play OLB. Bailey could move to corner. Somebody will probably say that's a waste of talent. Got two words for you; Joe Haden.

Do you still feel good about Clark to UF? Was just looking at the latest 247 predictions and they are split between UF/OSU. Shurburtt predicts him to OSU, Hamilton to UF. I'd really like to close with Clark and Bostwick.

He's just recapping his recruitment. It's his last day to do so

[bleedorangeblue]

Timmons just picked UK.

[gator1986]

So does anyone feel positive of Clark

[Briang8r]

Rivals has a live chat going on. I asked on there and the guy who answered me (Kynon Codrington) predicted OSU. I've never heard of him, but I was hoping to see consensus Clark to UF. They did say that we should get Bower and predicted Reed as well.

[MadduxFanII]

Zach A's quite sure Clark is coming here, but while I like Zach his predictions often seem to get caught up in recent momentum and don't turn out.

One of the experts just said he thinks Bower sticks, but it was only a gut feeling. WTH? These dudes know as much as anyone on a message board. These kids don't tell these reporters/scouts crap.

[gator1986]

If Florida misses out on Clark that's sad. For a kid to say he wants academics, track, and football and then go pick OSU, means someone didn't do their job too well... But you can't win them all I guess

Are you referring to Ohio State or Oklahoma? I figure Urban's team which has a few WR commits, one being the 6th ranked. But compared to our it could be considered a better class for Clark to get PT since their 2012 WR class was pedestrian at best. I hope we get him for sure.

[Zanso]

Silent commitment is Mack Alexander.

That would be nice

[qwghlmgator]

Do you still feel good about Clark to UF? Shurburtt predicts him to OSU, Hamilton to UF.

Does Shurburtt know anything about Florida? I know he's been the go to guy for South Carolina recruits, but he's never really been a player in any other states. He made a bit of a name with guys like Lattimore and Clowney (though how hard was it to call that one for USC?). Just because 247 is desperate to grab guys with any name recognition and prop them up as "national recruiting experts" doesn't make them one.

I'll take AZ's word over JC's on Florida kids any day of the week.

[32250Gator]

Silent commitment is Mack Alexander.

I'd be shocked if this i true. From what I've read UF wouldn't take his commitment. Combine that with reports of serious attitude issues, I cant see him meshing with the Muschamp way very well.

[atlantagator86]

Zach A's quite sure Clark is coming here, but while I like Zach his predictions often seem to get caught up in recent momentum and don't turn out.

I think last year Zach was new and maybe a little overly optimistic. I don't think he had as much credibility with the recruits so he was talking to them directly very often. I suspect that last year, he was going mostly by what he was hearing on other boards.

This year he's been much more connected with the recruits directly and much more careful this year about tempering his optimism. I think he's done a very good job this year.

He's still not going to always be right, but nobody is.

[GATORAZ]

I was told something when I posted that everybody would be happy. I almost never get "info" like that but I trust the person who told me. You notice I dont try and act like an insider because I am not I guess just like everybody else. On this instance I trust what I was told but you never know kids change their minds Foster has an Auburn tattoo and is going to Bama. I am willing to bet Shurburtt has no info on Clark

[gator1986]

I sure hope not...

[GatorAvatar]

Zach A's quite sure Clark is coming here, but while I like Zach his predictions often seem to get caught up in recent momentum and don't turn out.

Don't read Zach during the last week of recruiting. He will send you to the ER with a heart attack.

[GATORAZ]

Don't read Zach during the last week of recruiting. He will send you to the ER with a heart attack.

lol remember last year when he wrote that letter to the fans about his picks being wrong?

[your_perfect_enemy]

In fairness to zack a ton of people were making 90+% of the same predictions and were just as wrong.

[Briang8r]

OSU guy for 247 reporting Clark to OSU. Hope he's wrong.

[GATORAZ]

In fairness to zack a ton of people were making 90+% of the same predictions and were just as wrong.

And they had great info to think they were right. Kids change their mind at the last minute it just a part of of recruiting. The best part of Florida's class this year is if we get no more commits it is still a great class. CWM has already closed.

[TiGator]

Zach does a great job. Nobody is perfect predicting 18 year old kids, football related or not. Seems like UF's big NSD peak was for EE's (Anzalone and D-Rob). Scanning all the sites, Clark to OSU seems likely. As an observer, I expect 1 of Bostwick/Reed/Bower and 1 to 2 under the radar guys to finish a great class!

[619_Gator]

Last year was tough for predictions. I think Tracy Howard, Josh H-C, and Avery Young all committed to Coach Muschamp and then pulled the switch on NSD.

[GATORAZ]

OSU guy for 247 reporting Clark to OSU. Hope he's wrong.

its not looking good people might be real pissed at Urban tomorrow

[gator7_5]

Damn it man.

[ugaGator]

its not looking good people might be real pissed at Urban tomorrow

You means the ones that aren't still pissed at him already? :nervous smile:

[Danielmaddie]

I don't believe any reporters until LOI is signed and faxed. Everyone said Dante Fowler was a lock to FSU the night before NSD and look what happened. I'll wait to see what happens tomorrow

[demosthenes]

It appears our insiders on this board feel Clark is going to OSU.

[UFreak]

It appears our insiders on this board feel Clark is going to OSU.

Do we have insiders on this board? If so, who are they?

[gator7_5]

That's bad news. The insiders on GC think we're gonna ink everyone every signing day.

[crl]

It appears our insiders on this board feel Clark is going to OSU.


After one winter up there, he'll regret that decision.

[Jonas]

I still think we get Clark

[hastings15]

FWIW - which may be nothing - OSU insiders who were previously hedging and skeptical are tonight saying Clark has definitely picked OSU.

I don't really believe anything until the LOI is delivered.

[atlantagator86]

I think we may still be in it for Clark as well. The good thing is that most of the influences around him between today and tomorrow probably favor UF. He may wake up tomorrow with a slightly different viewpoint.

What I'm curious about is how OSU was able to sway him during the dead period.

[Gatuar]

@GotEmCoach2: About To Just Lay Here and Stare at The Ceiling Till Tomorrow Morning Lol ��

[UFreak]

One thing is for sure, James Clark gives you absolutely no hints where he is leaning via twitter.

[RayGator]

He is suppose to make his LOI announcement at 9:00 A.M.

[StrangeGator]

Not going to lose sleep over it. He's the most exciting and least important player on our board. Let's get some more DL.

[GATORAZ]

Would love to get him but you cant win them all. I wonder what Urban said to him

[GatorAvatar]

Urban used to be known as the closer.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH – "Wide receiver James Clark, one of Florida’s most coveted uncommitted prospects going into National Signing Day, made Urban Myer and a legion of Ohio State football fans very happy on Wednesday morning.

Clark, who brought an enticing blend of speed, athleticism and academic success to the recruiting season, saved his decision as a secret – at least publicly -- for a National Signing Day signing ceremony at his high school’s auditorium.

In an announcement made for live television the 5-11, 170-pound slot receiver donned a Buckeyes cap. He chose Ohio state over Florida and Clemson.

“Ohio state provided the best opportunity to be successful on the field and for life after football,” Clark said. “It’s a place I felt happy at.

“It was really hard. Florida is a great school. Ohio State, I felt it was the right place for me. Coach Meyer told me, ‘Don’t come to Ohio State unless I was ready to make grown man moves. That’s what I had to do.”

Clark said he became very close to Meyer during the recruitment process.

“Coach Meyer and I are very close. He’s like a second dad for me.”

Clark has been clocked in the 40-yard dash at 4.38 seconds and at 10.43 for 100 meters on the track."

Grown man moves? Coming from Meyer that can mean a lot of different things. Grown men want to play against the best, that is what the SEC offers.

[DangerDays10]

What does Urban know about being a grown man?? Running from competition?

[Lawdog88]

I could see him lying in bed looking at the ceiling all night wondering about that decision. :laugh:

[socraticsilence]

Not a shock, if its down to Urban and anyone but Saban more often than not a recruit is going to choose OSU, Urbs can close and he has the hardware to back up his claims both of personal glory for a recruit and national titles for his team.

[Lawdog88]

Right. And in his closing, he would never negative sell UF or Coach Champ.

But I do wonder how he could possibly sell tOSU academics over ours. Somewhere, an Eskimo is missing a refrigerator.

[fox]

Slept on his sofa.

Oh he'll rag on us, Champ does the same I don't know who doesn't negative recruit.

[Lawdog88]

Oh he'll rag on us, Champ does the same I don't know who doesn't negative recruit.


There was a story the other day about Champ's style - from the recruit's parents - saying they met with Champ and he did not say anything negative about any competing program, but kept it positive and real. The story seemed to be confirmed from multiple sources.

I strongly suspect there is a character difference between the two.

[bantab]

Oh he'll rag on us, Champ does the same I don't know who doesn't negative recruit.

Apparently the report from recruits is that Muschamp doesn't go negative. I like it.

[atlantagator86]

... Don’t come to Ohio State unless I was ready to make grown man moves ...

That sounds like something Jerry Sandusky might have said to a kid during recruiting! :)

[bantab]

Don’t come to Ohio State unless I was ready to make grown man moves.

Urban Meyer definitely knows about "grown man" things like keeping your word, honoring your family, and finishing the things you start.

[born2beagator]

Meh, forget about this loser and move on. he made the mistake, not us. I am going to laugh my butt off when Urban Liar quits again

Notre Dame job will probably be open in the next couple years or so and Urban's always been intrigued about coaching there so if things don't go as he 'd like you'll see him bolt from Ohio State.

[born2beagator]

In addition to Urban's questionable integrity, I just can't see why a kid from Florida would want to move TO Ohio.

Enjoy freezing your butt off kid.

[Gatorrick22]

I could never, ever play for a two time quitter.

[Pogiro]

Some of y'all are taking this too damn personal. If I were Clark, I probably would have picked Ohio State, too. All you gotta do is look at the recruiting process. It was pretty obvious he was second thought to Demarcus Robinson. From what I understood of the whole process, he had a lot of interest in us early on, but we somewhat kept him waiting with our focus Demarcus.

Not saying Clark is an attention whore, but from the get-go the guy probably already felt like a second fiddle. Then take into consideration he'd be coming in with 5 other receivers? In comparison to OSU, it looks like they'll have 3 other receivers with him.

Ohio State is probably the safer bet to be a high powered offense in comparison to us, too.

Players at Clark's level are trying to get to the NFL. He's just making a decision that he feels will give him a better chance at getting there. Hating on him for that is pretty damn classless.

You win some, you lose some in recruiting. Let's try and at least show some class about the guys who choose to go elsewhere...

Easy on the judgements there, hoss.

You think Clark had any reason to feel he was a priority at Ohio State, at least moreso than UF? He didn't get an offer from Urban until after we offered. So tell me again how you came up with that conclusion?

[EvenParGator]

Urban's already recruiting over him with another kid that flipped from Oregon today.

[cudigator]

Let me get this straight. People are callina a 17 year old a loser AND saying urban isn't a grown man. I mean pick one or the other at least.

[UFFL]

Yeah, Dontre Wilson, or whatever his name is, is filling the Percy role

[Pogiro]

Easy on the judgements there, hoss.

Just calling it as I see it. Am I wrong? Calling this guy a loser when it's a decision that controls his future, not ours? Not a little self-centered and classless?

I never said that Ohio State had him as more of a priority over us. I'm just pointing out why I think he didn't choose us. If we recruited him as hard as we did Demarcus, he probably would be with us. And then there is such thing as a double-standard. This combined with the other factors I listed has him going to Ohio State. If I'm wrong, then oh well, just an observation from keeping track of his situation.

[HudsonGator]

Blah blah blah Next Percy Harvin. Yada yada 1% of the 1%...Top of the mountain...My esophagus has never felt better.

He could have wanted a chance to make plays, what that you've seen on the field so far makes you think UF under Boom would be a good place to do that as a WR? As a RB or a defensive player sure but as a WR or a QB, c'mon.

Glad you're not our recruiting for the Gators. With friends like you, who needs enemies.

I said nothing about the opportunities at either school. I only brought up the fact Urban made Clark less of a priority than UF given the timing of the each school's offer.

He could have wanted a chance to make plays, what that you've seen on the field so far makes you think UF under Boom would be a good place to do that as a WR? As a RB or a defensive player sure but as a WR or a QB, c'mon.

Seeing how we have other TOP receivers committed your point isn't valid. Go TROLL elsewhere!

Really?! Because so many great WR's have come out of OSU? His QB is a run first QB, not passing so James Clark and co will do what most of theirs did last year..... Block...

The only mild dissapointment from this class but we did actually sign some very good WR's so not a big loss. The kid we flipped from Clemson will be a star. Clark may well sit behind an even better freshman recruit at his position in Ohio. That kid will get the first look. Ohio...hehehe!

James Clark is one of mu closest friends and one of the best players in America. Urban Meyer, circa Soon.

Urban will lose a couple games this year despite competing in a piss poor conference. Once he lost his assistants, he proved to be lacking in coaching ability. OSU was one of the weakest undefeated teams I've ever seen this year, even moreso that ND. $5 mil a year and a couple years of recruiting before OSU fans figure it out!

Big 10 is inferior to the SEC. Period.
But then again, so is every other conference in the nation. We confirm our dominance every year in just about every sport.
Our biggest goal should be to win the east division. Then the SEC title.
National titles come as an automatic bonus now.
We all need to be demanding an expansion of the playoff from four to 8 teams ASAP so that at least two SEC teams get into the mix.

There SOS was 82nd, or slightly lower this season. I wonder where they would have ended up if allowed to play in a bowl?

Miller threw for more yards and more TDs than JD did, is Jeff a running QB?

I just wonder why you enjoy being disliked on here, a childhood trauma with an alligator perhaps or Erin Andrews never answered your love letters?....:love:
