OHSSE Rotnei Clarke Basketball Highlights Verdigris, OK

[satmoore3381]

Welcome to Butler!

[Lorenshyne]

So why would he transfer? He played a ton of minutes in ARkansas had playes written on him. He probably will play in Europe. Now he will lose one year of his career. dumb move

[kopkas3]

2:17 is a knuckleball

[MrSwish3pointer]

thats one shot dumbass. it happens every once in awhile. if you were a bball player you would know that.

[ludaria]

his shot has barely any rotation, check 2:15

[GobTheIllusionist]

nice hair #5

[kopkaballaz]

hes a monster he cant miss....# 5's hair FOR THE OTHER TEAM is amazin

[kopkaballaz]

hes a monster he cant miss

[shannon2575]

whos the dude w/ the long hair?

[iheartarchie4eva]

@2econd2n0ne u what?? played golf....i didnt no he liked golf!!!

[dwade8915]

i have rotneis autograph on the armband he was wearing on the cover of oklahoma tip off his senior year, and on my dewey home coming shirt haha

[MrSseagle1]

I saw video the other day of a player named Landon McGarry. Not quite the player as Clarke, but definately a lot of similarities.

[jsjw33255]

at 2:42 thats is how you are supposed to shoot right there

[EVGEDS]

he scored 51 points yesterday

[RanDaMan918]

i went ta school with him lol

[coleman1594]

he's annointed to play basketball

[yourmomma444]

@coleman1594 on a level the world is unfamiliar with =D

[bballerplaya3]

my coach is from wewoka and he told me this is the very first game he ever watched him play and he was the best high school basketball player he'd ever seen play

[Madskillzkid]

is this like 1/2A or something b/c these teams ont look good.

[hogcam]

anyone who says rotnei is not any good probably is not any good at basketball anyway... yes he is doing good at Arkansas for all the doubters.. Wooo Pig!!

[iversonthanextmj]

this dude must think he raw he is wackk they needa play mid west city they would get smashed plus he playing in Verdigris, OK where is that anyway??

[austin0558]

@iversonthanextmj he played kids from midwest city in aau and he smashed on them?

[chptaylor]

Arkallday he is avg. 15 a game.Got anything else to say?

[kahleil3]

#15 is a beast nice video

[Sawchipper10]

GO CLARK! GO HOGS!!!

[chptaylor]

arkallday you are a total idiot.I've seen him play 4 or 5 times on campus and he kills them.You must be a nerd or you would be playing.

[tannerheatley]

I saw him play in Faith 7. He is a sick passer. A sick shooter. He should do well at arkansas.

[arkallday]

what else can this guy do except shoot threes? i don't see him bein a factor at all in the sec against longer, taller and more athletic defenders....i've seen this dude play in fayetteville on campus and i'm not impressed

[RHS02]

arkallday, Pat Bradley wasn't that much taller than Rotnei (maybe an inch) and he held the SEC record for career 3-pointers made until Lofton, who isn't much taller either, came along and broke it. Rotnei will do fine and will light it up from beyond the arc for the Hogs.

[bulldogs6807]

he can dunk and he can pass....

[LBelveal]

dude gelnpool played verdigris over the summer and he got a break away and dunked it and he got 22 assists

[stevenpaul4]

Well Redick is listed at 6'4". Yeah Rotnei sucks he just hits NBA range threes like layups. He makes nice passes as well if you watched him play besides just in this vid. Not hating on the other verdigris players but he has to force up shots sometimes.

[dirtroadlegend]

stevepaul :  I recieved ur message did u ever get my reply? jus wondering ........

[claphan25]

JJ redick is 6-5 Steve nash is the best passer in the game those are 2 things rotnei is not he forces up alot ofshots i enjoyed watching page play more he had more control of the game but he will struggle with size in college imo

[bao187]

Rotnei Clark and Courtney Fortson together is going to be a good tandem for the Hogs

[billybobmc3]

i hope he does good at arkansas. im lookin forward to watchin him play

[SerraBaller]

hes got a pure shot.

[stevenpaul4]

yea I do live in oklahoma and I've seen him play 8 times including all of the state tournament in which the powerhouses of 3A put 2 guys on him and still played well, hit tough shots and lead his team to win it. have you? The all time scoring leader will only make a few three ever now and then? He's listed at 6'1". how tall is John Lucas, J.J. Redick, or that Steve Nash guy. I think all teams run screens to get guys open even guys over 6'1". I've actually played the game and kno the game also

[dirtroadlegend]

there are no powerhouses in 3A that is what im trying to tell u.. hell i could average 40 a gm if i played vs poteau and wilburton like teams every game in 4A. I think he is a good player no doubt I jus dont get all excited when I see someone score at that level. and where in oklahoma are u from and what year u graduate?

[dmac8999]

what? your telling me that hes gaunna do good in arkansas, its not like hes left open every shot...

[slimthugga34]

i doubt youve played against rotnei clarke before to make a good assumption of all this... he is a great player, it doesnt matter if hes from a 3A school, he is still really good!

[stevenpaul4]

dirtroadlegend why do say that if he averages more than 10 a game in college it would suprise you, have you not watched any of these videos of him. He definitly will score more than that, maybe just a little more than 10 freshman year and he can hit a shot without screens when theres not two or three guys on him.

[dirtroadlegend]

do u live in oklahoma ? do u see tha level of competition he is playing against ? tha mighty 3A powerhouses etc. he can make tough shots and he is a good HS player.. he is 6 ft tall shooting guard . I hope he does well but i dont see him being anymore than a specialist who if his teammates can get him open come in and drop a few 3's and contribute that way. I kno tha game and tha more i watch him tha less impressive he has been to me but i actually played tha game and kno tha game.

[USASoCCerGoaL]

Hes a great shooter, but if hes to play division 1 college ball hes gonna have trouble getting his shots off. He will have to work on his lift on his jumpshots bigtime. But if he gets on a team that runs alot of high picks to create openings for him he may have a chance

[dirtroadlegend]

COULDNT AGREE MORE !!!

[zekeulrey]

At best, he's Jeff Hornacek.

Um, "that's pretty good."

But he's going to need screens to get his shot off.

[dirtroadlegend]

if he avg's. , more than 10 pts a gm on tha next level will surprise me....

[dudeitssbryce]

Avging 12.7 a game as of right now.

[stevenpaul4]

Yeah your right man hes such a cheater and bad guy and never passes it. Whatever dude yeah he pushes off a little sometimes before he shoots but most all great players do, look at Michael Jordan, he did the same thing (not comparing Clarke to the greatest ever). Don't ever hear people dog on him and theres no reason to, and theres no reason to dog on Rotnei either.

[xFoster]

He is a good player, but he cheats when he plays. He is constantly pushing people back before he shoots. He's also a huge ball hog. I saw him play 2 nights ago. He is going to the wrong conference when he goes to college. Arkansas won't put up with that crap.

[stevenpaul4]

He broke the all-time scoring record for Oklahoma and won the state championship for class 3A this year.

[sigmachi402]

Arkansas razorback can't wait til he is in the line-up

[phxsuns20]

Wow...he's awesome

[calibornbabe]

i loveee rotnei

and zach loyd

hell yes

GO VERDIGRIS

[pizza9212]

damn he scored a lot of points of only shooting

[boreedy]

well how else whould he score!!!!

[ncab0011]

Hopefully, if he grows another 2 or 3 inches by next season, he'll really have something going for him.

[shaneluebbers15]

I played Rotnei my Senior year at that tournament shown here (The game with the blue and yellow court where all the shots against that orange/black team went in) and hehad 46 on us, 43 the game before and 52 in the one shown here!! This kid is the REAL DEAL and a class act!! I know he is undersized and lacks athleticism, but tell that to J.J. Redick....Good luck to you at Arkansas Rotnei and the haters will realize what is up with this kid!

[je2434]

I wanted this kid at Kentucky. Good Job Pelphrey, im pullin for ya!

[kaboone22]

I PLAY HIM TOMORROW!

[naptownphenom55]

how did it go?

[drewmheim]

Thats a sweet stroke he's got there! Just wait until you hear the crowd in Fayetteville when you knockin down those three's.

[nate12540]

Wow that was all in one game? GO HOGS!

[wilthiswork]

Welcome to the Razorback family Rotnei!!!!

[somewherenorth83]

glad he's a hog. =) it may not be the prettiest form i've ever seen, but the kid can hit it from anywhere on the court.

[hognelson]

Welcome to the Razorbacks Rotnei!!!!

[sunsfan316]

He is amazing at Virdigris

[OlDirtMcBert]

Idiots. How many shooters like this have you ever seen? One, maybe two. He's a pure shooter that every coach would love to have bustin up zones. Kid, watch OSU play ball. They definately have a spot for you. Byron Eaton is trash, and everyone knows it.

[Landon4465]

Ha... you say that 3 months ago. It didn't look like either the Texas A&M guards or the Kansas guards had anything even remotely resembling an answer for him(Eaton) this past couple of weeks. He's starting to make better decisions.The talent was always there. Don't quit your day job to pursue talent scouting.I think it'd be a bad move.

[kingrmt3]

I hear its down to ORU or Arkansas. It should all be over really soon.

[PTHoopster14]

I think Gonzaga fans are still worshiping Morrison. And OSU remembers just about every single one of their bball players for about a decade and the better ones for life. That's why OSU is such a good place for bball players to go. But something no one sees in one video is that this kid averaged nearly 37 points a game, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists a game or some insane numbers like that and had multiple triple doubles. He also set a the OK state bball tourney record for points with 60!!

[dukecrazy2]

No wonder UK pulled this kids offer. He might be able to shot but I don't thin he will be able to keep up with the athletes UK is starting to get. Wish we had gotten Patterson and Miller. I heard the Liggins kid is really good but I haven't seen him play. I have seen Darius Miller and he should be a 5 star. We got a good one at DUKE in Olek Czyz

[Dannyboy013]

i don't think Gonzaga is after him anymore either. They just got a commitment from a speedy guard named Demetri Goodson, he;s a sleeper. they also have Grant Gibbs too at PG. so i doubt they'll go after another. i heard it was the same situation as UK. Few wanted a commitment and Clarke wasn't ready so we picked up Goodson. Clarke would've been a stud at GU. Have fun at Oral Roberts.

[dstanek12]

He is going to Arkansas not Oral Roberts.

[kycats06]

Gillispie had to part ways with Clarke. I am sure the fact that Gillispie got 2 guards in the class of 08 already had something to do with it. 5 star Liggins and 4 star Miller. Sorry Clarke he did give you a chance. Now Gillispie go get us a big man

[voodoome2]

You're a freaking tool, kycats06.

Any way, Rotnei, I'm a razorback fan, and I hope you do decide to pick us. Our arena along with our crowd when we're winning is 2nd to none. Pelphrey is putting the perfect system in, too.

[voodoome2]

Would you like to explain that again? It sure seems like you haven't done enough of that already...

[kycats06]

Gillispie just parted ways with Clarke.

I guess there was no room for Clarke after now that Gillispie has gotten

Legion 07 4 star stud

Liggins 08 6'6 athletic 5 star combo guard

Miller 08 highly ranked 4 star athletic combo guard. Both can play small foward as well.

With only 1 scholorship left Gillispie knows he needs a big man.

Sorry Clarke but you had your chance and you waited to long. So Gillispie went out and go two guys who are better. Good luck

[kycats06]

Gillispie just parted ways with Clarke.

Clarke waited to long and Gillispie went out and got

DeAndrea Liggins 6'6 athletic combo guard

Darius Miller 6'6 athletic combo guard

both can play small foward

Liggins is a 5 star

Miller a highly ranked 4 star

So I think it was best for both parties. UK needs a Big Man and is already loaded with good guards and Clarke needs to go somewhere that he has a chance to play. Good luck Clarke, sorry but UK did give you a chance.

[kycats06]

Gillispie just told Clarke that they needed to part ways.

5 star Liggins

4 Star Miller

I am sure had something to do with it

Now UK go out and get a big man. We have our 6'6 athletic guards.

[kycats06]

BREAKING NEWS. Gillispie told Clarke it was time to part ways. Clarke waited to long and Gillispie went out and got 5 star 6'6 combo guard Deandre Liggins and highly ranked 4 star combo guard Darius Miller. Sorry Clarke but you had your chance and you let UK go out and get 2 better players that are more athletic and taller. I still wish UK could have gotten Bradon Jennings.

[ThaddeusMarcum]

Comparing Kentucky and Oklahoma State or Gonzaga is like comparing a tank to a beebee gun. There's no comparison. UK fans will treat Clarke like a rock star for life; Gonzaga fans will forget Clarke two years after he graduates.

[kycats06]

gillispie just told Clarke that they need to part ways. To bad for Clarke he shouldn't have waited around for Gillispie to get 5 star athletic 6'6 combo guard Liggins and 4 star athletic 6'6 combo guard Miler.

Gillispie did the right thing for UK and for Clarke.

[bored210]

i go to school with him

[CDean30]

my boy brad would lock him down

[Disneygirl567]

Go to Kentucky to play in front the craziest fan base in the country. Even though Adolph Rupp learned his basketball principals at Kansas(the cradle of basketball)Kentucky has a clearly superior basketball history.

[kcnumber23]

i hear he is staying in state OU

[jizzlegneko]

uk can have them the still aint gonna be the louisville.

[kycats06]

I know what Louisville will have next season, a:

1) Pitino

2) McCarty

3) Delk

4) Massielo

5) Padgett

Sounds like to me UofL wants to not be like UK but BE UK. LOL. Even if you all win it will be with Kentucky coaches LOL. Until DUHVILLE has 7 National Titles, 43 Big East, and Most Wins in NCAA history; DUHVILLE won't compare to UK in basketball. Must I remind you of the head to head record?

[kycats06]

Clarke you can't win the BIG ONE at KU. That has been proven. KU has only won 2 titles the last coming 20 years ago.

KENTUCKY goes through down years but then comes out of it and wins titles.

Clarke it is all about National Titles don't go to KU where all they care about is regular season stats.

[Coasterbill42]

Come to MO State, even though you took us off the list, you could get All-American stats here where you'd be just another kid on the bench somewhere else

[moehobart]

uk can have this kid as far as I am concerned

[mick063]

You can be a star at Gonzaga or be "part of the rotation" elsewhere. Think about it...

[kycats06]

Great Job Again Wildcat Fans. UK has again won the attendance record. That is 11 times in the last 12 years.

Wonder if Clarke wants to play in front of the biggest fan base in the country every home game or go somewhere else and be forgotten?

GO BIG BLUE

[kycats06]

The University of Kentucky. DeAndre said KU wasn't good enough for him and you shouldn't go to KU either.

UK, UK, UK, UK

UK, UK, UK, UK

[robshoffner]

Wow! Didn't KU beat Kentucky the last two times we played, including a win in Lexington? What I remember most was Ashley Judd drooling over B-Rush as he spanked ya'll all over Allen Fieldhouse.

[kycats06]

Clarke UK not KU. Roy Williams had to leave before he Kansas before he could win a title. KU has gotten beaten by Bradley and Bucknell in recent years.

Kansas only has 2 titles and their last one was 20 years ago.

Kentucky 7 titles

Most wins in NCAA History

[holtonmusicman]

Mr. Clarke...KU not UK would be the best choice. How often does a coach who's won a NC in the past five years get run out of a school? UK has exceptional fans who are rabid and never satisfied. One bad game and you'll be the ill-favored son!

[johnj28]

RC... It's your decision, and we trust you will make the right one for you! We are hoping you pick Big Blue Nation, and we hope you help Coach Billy Clyde bring another NCAA Championship back to the Rafters at RUPP!!! #1 in Wins, #1 in Winning Percentage, #1 in NCAA Appearences, #1 in Attendance, #1 in Facilities, #1 in FAN SUPPORT, #2 in NCAA Titles. We need your shooting Rotnei. UK needs Rotnei Clarke. Does RC want to be KING of CAMELOT???

[thalegend2001]

nah, kid will be a jayhawk

[wright69]

b a freakin arkansas razorback!!!

WOO PIG SOOIE!!!!

[DawnlightFilms]

Come be a Wildcat! Imagine it- 24,000 screaming fans night in and night out, the best facilities in the nation, a great city, everything! KU wouldnt be a bad choice, but still, come be a Wildcat!

[mikebohnert]

Wow! Looks like a TRUE Zag! Come join America's team and get one on one coaching by the best--John Stockton and Mark Few

[maxbps8]

America's Team? You want him to play for KentuckY?

[jasonhiatt]

Why would this kid go to UK? Didn't KU blast that overrated team in the 2nd round of last year's tourney? If he has any brains he will be a Jayhawk.

[maxbps8]

Best Coach in the land, best fans in the land, best basketball practice facility/dorms/arena/history..­.

Best Coll BBall Program, period. Ummm, hmmm, I wonder why he would want to play for UK-KY?

[kycats06]

Love this kid. He is a old school, pure shooter. These types are hard to find these days but the ones who get them win championships. UK has a fan base who will understand that and appreciate having a talent such as Clarkes.

[johnj28]

Rotnei... UK is the CAMELOT of College Basketball. Come help Billy Clyde cut down some nets!

[dreauxofus]

UK, all the way!!

[ukwildcats0013]

What a scoring machine! Kentucky's back...we're stealing back recruits from the likes of Florida, dUKe, and Kansas. Thank you MinnY!

[ukwildcats0013]

GO BIG BLUE!!!

[jhawklata]

Rock Chalk Jayhawk. Come play for the teacher, not the student!

[kelsaayd]

FYI - ORU didn't "lock" anybody up by hiring Conley.

[kycats06]

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY WILDCATS

7 National Titles

Most Wins in NCAA History

23,000 plus fans every home game

[linuxbox25]

UK owns all of you this year...your base has been overtaken!

[ukwildcat8860]

Big Blue Nation is calling you! Kansas, Duke, NC and Gonzaga.....forget about it!

[kingrmt3]

Why are you guys arguing over where he goes. Everybody knos that Oral Roberts locked him up when they hired his dad on staff this year.

[eliottor]

Jayhawks. Obviously. With his boy Willie Warren. Why wouldn't you want to play for the best school ever?

[twofive25]

he needs to go to kentucky, its got tradition and he can keep it going.

[TCraig31]

C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS......GO UK!!!

[dmart223]

he sure will look good in kentucky blue

[judah618]

Kansas

[kycats06]

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY WILDCATS

[kelsaayd]

UK shouldn't be surprised. Rot's really been looking into Gonzaga.

[kycats06]

UK, UK, UK, UK

Go CATS

[kycats06]

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY WILDCATS

[DavyDuke17]

UK fans will be surprised when Clark picks Gonzaga.

[businessoriented]

It's this simple if the choices are Kentucky, Oklahoma, or Arkansas, then the choice should be easy. The Sooners only care about football, and to them basketball is just something to do until the football season starts. Arkansas is a no brainer. The fans look for reasons to fire their coach. Phone records? Come on be real! Kentucky is the necca of college basketball and always has been, and guess what? IT ALWAYS WILL BE!

[kelsaayd]

I totally love how all of those highlights are from two seasons ago. They're nothing compared to this last season's...

I am going to guess Kentucky wants you pretty badly? Go where you want, you know everybody at home supports & adores you. We especially support an in-state decision. =]

[kycats06]

Clarke, Arkansas had to get a UK Boy to save their baskeball program. So skip the middle man, wannabes and come to KENTUCKY. Why go to a school that if we ask their coach to be our head coach tomorrow he would leave in a heart beat to coach us?

[kycats06]

KENTUCKY

KENTUCKY

KENTUCKY

[cstarns]

The boy can flat out shoot. UK is in the process of building another dynasty...come be a part of it. Even Arkansas' coach John Pelphrey chose UK. Not a hard decision, chicken farms or basketball country.

[sanjuniban]

However, UK has far better tradition, obviously, has the best facilities in nation, and is poised to be a top contender for the NCAA title, year in and year out, for many years to come(Gillispie is fantastic, Pelphrey couldn't even put up decent numbers at a small school).If these are Clarke's top three schools, it seems that UK is the logical and easy choice. Besides, it's a well-known fact that Kentucky is very good to its former players(bank jobs,sports marketing gigs,etc).

[sanjuniban]

Clarke!! Come to SUNY Albany!!! ...well, thats not gonna happen. Ok,Im not a U of K fan, Im not an Arkansas fan, and I could care less about Oklahoma. Speaking objectively,though,Oklahoma is a football school where hoops takes a major backseat to the pigskin. UK and Arkansas are bball schools with passionate fan bases.

[tailwater1984]

a kentucky fan is critizing another school's meddling fans? HAHAHAHAHAH. he sure looks good in red. rotnei is already a fan favorite in fayetteville. BE A HOG ROTNEI. COME PLAY UP-TEMPO, NOT THAT GRIND IT OUT STUFF THAT UK WILL PLAY.

[theredstates]

grind it out stuff? i guess the news ain't made it down there but kentucky has has a new up-tempo coach. it doesn't get much more up-tempo then billy gillispie!

[dimeforepps]

Sorry Tailwater. There is a new sheriff in Lexington. No grinding it out allowed. Come on Rotnei, you and your boy Willie Warren would look great in Blue.

[kycats06]

Clarke come to a basketball school, come to UK. UK Fans treat their baskeball players like rockstars. Don't go to a football school. Ecspecially one like Arkansas, where fans look up phone records of their coaches to fire them. UK has 7 titles and has the most wins in NCAA history. We UK fans would love to have Clarke and he wouldn't play 2nd fiddle to football.

[nitneyluvsbran]

GO TO UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shampton91]

can shoot for sure...but speed does not appear to be good enough for Ky..we can do better!

[spazedbanana]

Yeah right, ARKANSAS NEEDS YOU MORE!!!

[deetwood]

Come be with your Grandma and family up at Arkansas. You don't want your partents to have to travel that far to Kentucky, plus ole Gillispie has told about 15 players they are his number one target.

[nitneyluvsbran]

GO TO UK!!!!!!!!!!!

[boonedl12]

Clarke + Warren = sick backcourt for UK!!! Go Big Blue!

[UKisGR8]

COME TO UK ROTNEI WE LOVE 2 HAVE U GO 2 UK

[indypdcjg]

born to b a wildcat

[voodoome2]

I'm not really sure how he was born to be a wild cat. He's from Oklahoma. I don't see him going to UK.

[hornbop]

Rotnei Clarke + Willie Warren = UK legends

Wow...

[Wildcatbooster]

Come to Kentucky,There's plenty of hot women and Partying for you!!!!

[kansasooner]

Boomer Sooner

[cheffE4Life]

COME TO UK!!!!!!!

[jakelet]

Come to Kentucky and be "set" for life- basketball players in Kentucky are highly respected. You will be on television every game and have many national games.
