Jason Clark is another talented 2008 recruit off the board as the versatile 2008 guard prospect chose to stay close to home and attend Georgetown. The Hoyas are cleaning up in the loaded DC area with recent commitments from Chris Wright (St. John's College Prep and Boo Williams AAU), Chris Braswell (DeMatha HS and Triple Threat AAU), and Clark (Bishop O'Connell and Bethesda Magic AAU) in the last week. They of course join Braswell's high school teammate Austin Freeman (DC Assault) to show the wide range of Georgetown's local recruiting power as they are sampling from just about each of the local major AAU programs (anyone fro Team Melo ready?). Hats off to John Thompson III and chief recruiter Kevin Broadus for bring the Hoyas back into the national picture.

All signs point to continued success and now the Hoyas can continue to evaluate and fine-tune their focus on who they want. On paper, it looks like one scholarship is open, but 2008-2009 is a long way off...so, expect them to keep making waves on the recruiting scene.

We will continue to follw the Hoyas on the recruiting trail.
