"At that moment Clark had verbally committed to play at UC Davis. Bennett would never recruit a player who had verbally committed to someone else, and he knew, liked and respected UC Davis Coach Jim Les. But at the end of the summer, Clark announced he was decommitting. The reason was simple: He believed he could play at a higher level."
"Even so, he hesitated when he first heard that Clark had decommitted from UC-Davis. He called Les.
“Jim told me I should go ahead and recruit him, that as far as he was concerned the kid was free and clear. Then I said to him, ‘Jim, am I crazy to think the kid can play in the ACC?’ ”
Sure would have been nice to see him play 4 years in an Aggie uniform but he obviously had confidence that he could play in a Power 5 conference. It's interesting, though, that watching him play, I see him making some great passes and anchoring the point but I think there are a lot of things that TJ did just as well and some things that TJ was better at. TJ is much quicker and can drive the lane better from what I've seen. So, who knows, TJ could have played in a Power 5 conference as well.
