Earl Clark leaving at season's end

[Tim_T]

Evidently he announced it on WLKY last night that he is heading to the NBA. Good luck to him. The last player that left after his junior year led us to the final four! here's hoping that Earl can do it as well. Looks like he will be a lottery pick.

Yea, everything I've been hearing I knew it was coming. Good luck to Earl, withhis length and stride move to the basket he'll do alright at the next level. He does have alot of growing up to do but them monsters in the NBA will make short work of that. Hey Tim maybe we won't be placed in a bracket with N Carolina in their backyard this time. If they play that crap with them guys again this year I'm gonna scream. Ship Carolina away from home like they do everybody else except Duke, lol, and make them earn their way, that deal last year was a JOKE!

Mark, on ESPN's bracketology as of today he has us as a two seed playing in Dayton. The number one seed in our bracket is Oklahoma. I would take that all day long. Here is the link. I expect he will update a new one in the next few days. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology

I really like our chances to come out of that bracket if it turned out that way. Heck we beat Oklahoma last year like they stole something from us. Here are some highlights.

Cool thanks for the link. Yea we sent them guys packing last year for sure. I think they are way overrated in a seriously overrated conference. They are really a one man show to. Blake Griffin gets in any foul trouble at all and it's a long day for the Sooners.

Well see how the brackets play out. I bet NC and Duke stay pretty close to home. Just my .02

I for one will be glad to see Earl Clark leave. He has not improved any from last year. If he wasn't ready last year he can't be ready this year. He leads the cards in turnovers and bad shots. If he thinks he is going to be a lottery pick, he's been talking to the wrong people. He can't dribble the ball good enough and is too soft under the basket. Remember you heard it hear first.

If your a #1 seed don't they almost always keep you close to home?

So get a #1 seed and there's nothing to really worry about.

Disagree there, Look at Earl's numbers, he almost averages a double/double and he is set in the top 12 in every mock draft. Check out this link http://www.nbadraft.net where he is projected sixth to the T-Wolves. NBA scouts think he is the real deal, regardless of what we think.


I think Earl has brainfarts every now and then, but I also think if you look at his overall game, he is pretty talented. I also think he will be a better NBA player than a college player.

Not always true, and there is a difference between close to home and darn near on campus like they do for Carolina and Duke all the time. Heck alot of the Carolina fans last year walked to the game, lol.

I too also heard on the radio about Earl Clark's status for the draft. The Radio show on 790 around 4:00 pm said all the info they had said Clark would go in the Top 10... *** BUT *** the guy's doing the show said in their opinion that any team that took Clark that early would live regret the choice.

Also U of L usually gets a great selection when it comes to Home site locations. Like Dayton, Indy or Nashville, all places that the Bird lovers can drive to very easy. Normally a 2nd round location as well, if they make it that far. so until the 3rd round rolls around most of the Tournament games are just as good as a Home Game. Just hope that your Cards play team ball during the tournament and have a good game overall or they could be leaving the tournament by the 2nd round. Not trying to bash the Cards again, only looking at how they play sometimes this year.

Mills I just checked some stuff and the Cards usually travel pretty good. If you are trying to say that Louisville gets special treatment on seeding over the media darling's of Duke or North Carolina, dude that's laughable. Your deep seeded hatred of the Cardinals is almost disturbing, get some counceling buddy it's just not healthy, lol.

Oh yea how's that bet coming with you and Tim T, lolol, ha ha.
