Rotnei "airball when it counted " Clarke

[JusPiggin]

Loser!

[Hog1952]

His last college shot was an airball!

[Dr. Starcs]

Hope Conley enjoyed that too.

[KlubhouseKonnected]

Enjoy the insurance business faux hawk.

[FSHog67]

Juspiggin, Without Clarke they wouldn't even have been in the game.  The kid played an excellent game, maybe you didn't watch the game.

[Danny J]

Enjoy the insurance business faux hawk.

Not in Arkansas he won't.

[warriorlion]

Not in Arkansas he won't.

An he wouldn't have ever played in the NCAA tourn if he had stayed at arkansas. Let the kid go-its been almost 2 years since he left.

[SWarkansasman]

And the Clarke ego trip ends with a horrible looking air ball........... 

[TNhawgfan]

You don't know that. He probably wouldn't have, but you never know what happens if none of the transfers leave

[PonderinHog]

You don't know that. He probably wouldn't have, but you never know what happens if none of the transfers leave

And Powell doesn't go down...totally different team.

[latrops]

I doubt Rotnei has any regrets.  If some here are happy that he missed his last shot in an NCAA Tourney loss, good for them.  Ultimately, he is a limited player.  A great shooter and OK ball handler, but little else.  Frankly, I think the transfer worked out well for him.  He got to be a featured player on an NCAA Tourney team...one that was a play away from advancing to the Sweet 16 at least. Arkansas may have been better off without him, as well.  He is a fine player, but he is not the trapping, pressing, athletic defender that fits best in this system.

[RazorWorld]

he is a grand master of palming the ball

[hoglady]

Why would you call the kid a loser?
At least he has the guts to WANT to take the last shot. You're either going to be the hero or the goat - some can't handle that pressure, other's can. Clarke has made a number of clutch shots for Butler this year.

[HawgcallWPS]

Rotnei "Easily Better Than Anyone On the Hogs Roster" Clarke!!!

Quit being jealous; he played a great game, for a better team, and was in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.  Terrible fit in MA's system, but if had been into his system we would be talking about how great of a kid he was (Mallett?).  Enough of the double standard. Grow up and let it go.

Nice!!!!!

[Hog_One_Stop]

Kid played a great game and he can shoot, at least he played in the NCAA tournament and never would have at Arkansas.  Get over it been gone 2 years

[CallThoseHawgs]

Actually if he was still here, I could see us making the tournament. He was what we needed to be a good team, a consistent shooter.

Alex Dillard says you don't have a clue about what type of player fits MA's system

Our teams were at their best when we had a deep scoring threat. Clark would have been a perfect fit here.

[Breems]

Man, that was a bad shot.

Bingo.

oh, I am sorry for the  facts....he shot an airball when it counted...and Butler lost... so he is a Loser.

I think you're right.  He's not a loser at all.  He did take a very selfish shot to end his season and college career tho. 

[hoglady]

There were 5.5 seconds left in the game when he took that shot - so how was that considered selfish?

[popcornhog]

Why does everyone hate him for transferring? I honestly don't blame him -- it was a mess here.

Congrats to Rotnei on a great season with Butler!

[hogitis]

I didn't think player bashing was allowed on hogville? Or, is that just our own players? Come on Mods.

+1. Pathetic that some posters on here are butt hurt over a kid transferring. Deal with it.

[ATU HOG]

I watched majority of the game, and I was pulling for Marquette.  It was disappointing to see Rotnei transfer, but he did what was best for him.  His first half yesterday he played very well.  In the 2nd half, it just looked like he was forcing way to many shots. 

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Okay, one more time...he would not have been eligible this year had he stayed at Arkansas. He would have been a senior last year.

Sorry...just tired of hearing people talk about how much better we would have been with a player that wouldn't have any eligibility left. Like saying we'd have been better if Corliss was on the team this year. (And no, I'm not comparing Rotnei to Corliss.)

[Chief Mac]

Hogville sho do love it some white boys

I don't care if he is white, black, or purple his ability to stroke the three could've helped our team this year. Too bad he made a "business decision" like Archie Goodwin.

[latrops]

oh, I am sorry for the  facts....he shot an airball when it counted...and Butler lost... so he is a Loser.

So what does that make our entire basketball team....and football team for that matter?

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Like him or not, the dude can shoot the basketball.

[Arazorbackguy1]

Business decision

[Hogz87]

Either you're 12 years old or a very immature adult. 

[RazorbackToTheFuture]

A loser is someone on the team that lost.  Are you disputing that Butler lost???

[grayhawg]

As of last night he is no longer a college BB player.

[jabberjawls]

Look you guys can think what you want.  I was disappointed when he left, BUT he was threatened and bullied by one of the thugs still on the team who was suppose to be a superstar.  CMA did nothing about this so RC left.  I don't blame him.

[Hogz87]

No, I'm just not going to stoop to that level to call a kid playing a game a "loser" just because he missed a potential game winning shot and his team lost in the second round of the tournament.  Especially when that kid scored 24 points on 8/17 shooting and went 5/12 from three while the school he transferred from was sitting at home not playing in any postseason tournament. 

[grayhawg]

ahh.. some more "i know somebody that you dont know" vague insider knowledge.  always spot on!

Pat Bradley did fine as a slow white guy who couldn't really defend but could shoot the ball well in this system.  Clark strikes me as the type of player who wouldn't fit in Anderson's system because he's more concerned with (in Mike's own words) "what's on the back of the jersey instead of what's on the front of it".

[GS99]

Corliss Williamson lost his last college basketball game.  Loser!

Come to think of it, so did Michael Jordan.  Loser!

It is one thing to transfer and another to try to throw the school under the bus, and people who love the little punk are the ones who are sick.

Yea. Cuz lets not be honest. I don't see anybody rushing to the defense of other Arkansas connected players that have shunned the U and otherwise shown their butts.
