WR James Clark (transferring to Virginia Tech)

He really wants to go to Florida judging by how many times he's been there, but Florida may be full up at WR.

How far is Smyrna Beach from Gainesville? Proximity to a local school always makes it easy to build up mutiple visits. I hope UF offering late has evened the playing field.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH ? New Smyrna Beach wide receiver James Clark said Wednesday night that his final official visit will be to Ohio State this weekend.

Clark's announcement followed an in-home visit from Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer on Wednesday night.

?(The visit) went well,? Clark said. ?(Meyer) came in, delivered his message and was straightforward with me.

?He kind of just said that he believed that Ohio State was the best as far as having both the best educational opportunities and best football," Clark added. ?He had a strong case for Ohio State."

So strong that Clark, who said he was wavering between taking an official visit to Florida and not taking a final official visit at all, said he was excited about checking out what the Buckeyes have to offer.

Clark, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound senior speedster, caught 49 passes for 1,112 yards and eight touchdowns for the Barracudas in 2012.

?(Meyer) said they are looking for a guy that can come in and make an impact right away,? Clark said. ?He said speed is the aspect they are looking to add to the team.?

Immediate impact is key here. I hope that is one selling point that neither Clemson nor Florida can offer.
Agreed and I don't think it is hyperbole by the staff to point this out. This kid can flat out play and should have no reason to be intimidated by the depth chart. To step into that situation with a NC caliber team with strong academics and to play for someone like Urban is surely not lost on this young man. If he does indeed get on campus we have to be in a really good spot. Getting him and Wilson would be absolutely huge to add to our great class. Wow. What a variety of firepower!

He kind of reminds me of an offensive Jamal Marcus. Freakish athlete/highlight film, but will need improvement on his actual football skills.


If his freshman contribution was no more than throw him a couple of bubble screens a game, and play special teams, I have no doubt that he would be a difference maker. Clark can make the first guy miss and get up field in a mega-hurry. Something OSU doesn't have right now. Clark's explosiveness on film is comparable to M. Lattimore. He jumps off the screen. I won't dispute he may be raw, but his upside looks limitless.

Haven't seen a stride like that since Teddy Ginn Jr. I don't think the kid is TGJr. fast but he sure does have wheels.

At a glance does run like Teddy, and on a track he may be more(as in 10.43/100) than TGjr fast, if that time is accurate. Get him in the fold and let the misguided comparisons begin. If Maxbuck is driving the Clark bandwagon, I definately am in the passenger seat.
