RE: Scholarships available for 2005 class

"165 pounds" ..... that's what scares me about Clemente.  If he isn't big
enough and strong enough he'll be in the same situation Chad Moore has been
in.  Bigger and stronger guards will push him around and score on him and
he'll end up riding the pine for two years in Huggins system until he adds
some weight and strength.

Hey, can we stop talking about recruiting and b*tch about the upcoming
schedule for awhile.  Just kidding!  :)  Funny how that one comment got this
thread going like crazy though!

"Extremely fast with the ball, Clemente is a dynamic scoring point guard. He
can get into the lane and shoot the three ball. At his best in transition,
Clemente will need to get stronger to excel in a half court, slower game."

Isn't that Kenny Satterfield (as described as a HS senior)?  He made a lot
of 3's in HS.

My Bad...Rivals.com is reporting that
Clemente will visit UC on 9/25/04, the
same weekend Byron Eaton is scheduled
to visit.  I cannot remember the last
time UC has 3 top PG's visisting there
campus.  Unbelievable!!!!


The recruitment of Denis Clemente, the No. 90 ranked player in the
Rivals150, is changing daily. The 6-foot-1, 165-pound point guard from
Calusa Prep in Miami, Fla., just picked up another offer according to his
AAU coach Art Alvarez.


Rivals.com

Clemente is a high octane point guard.
"Right now Denis is considering offers from Ohio State, Arkansas,
Cincinnati, Miami, and South Florida," said Coach Alvarez of the Miami
Tropics. "He also likes Indiana and Wake Forest. They are all even across
the board. I would say that they are all right there and have a chance."

Cincinnati is the latest school to make a strong push for Clemente.

"Cincy just offered Denis today and want him bad," said Alvarez. "They said
they would take him without him even taking a visit. Assistant coaches Frank
Martin and Andy Kennedy are recruiting Denis. They are doing a great job.
Frank Martin was just recently hired by the Bearcats and has really turned
up the pressure on Denis."

Alvarez also spoke about the schools that Clemente will visit and the ones
that are recruiting him the hardest.

"We will be taking visits to Ohio State, Arkansas, Miami, Cincinnati, and
South Florida, in that order starting sometime this week," he said. "They
will all be back to back.
"Cincinnati, Miami, and Ohio State have made a big impact on how much they
want Denis. They would all take him right now with out even taking a visit."


One aspect of Clemente's recruitment that does seem certain is a decision in
the near future.

"He will definitely be making a decision soon," said Alvarez. "Who knows,
the way things are going right now, he may even decide before he even takes
a visit."

Extremely fast with the ball, Clemente is a dynamic scoring point guard. He
can get into the lane and shoot the three ball. At his best in transition,
Clemente will need to get stronger to excel in a half court, slower game.

Add Denis Clemente to the list of PG's that want to
visit UC. UC hires Martin and all of the sudden one of
the top players in Southern Florida (Miami) who's from
PR wants to visit. Coincidence? I think not.
