Yes....and a really good one! He jumped to the American just like the Shockers are going to.
Worked out well for Nic...3 time First team all AAC, 2 time Player of the Year!


Yeah, I was thinking of him as well. 10 ppg and 3.9 apg as a freshman. However, even he was pretty up and down during his freshman year. He really caught fire at the end of the year, but during the season there were games in which he disappeared. He was also a bit of a defensive liability. Mind you, I (obviously!) would have loved to have kept him, but if he's the best true freshman PG in the MVC over the past decade--and even he was pretty up and down, and fell short of making the tournament--it shows that it's a lot to ask for Clarance or anyone else to come in and lead the team to a tourney during his first year. (I do think Clarance will ultimately be a real impact player, but we should expect some growing pains during Year 1.)

THIS is a great take. My argument is not that Clarance will not end up being solid next year, nor that he won't eventually be a great player. My argument is that it's a lot to ask of a true freshman PG to lead a team to NCAA-type success.

Very, very few true freshmen PG's are going to lead a team to the NCAA's. Maybe one going to Kentucky, Duke, or NC.

Alters history? Like, gets health care reform passed?

Or actually get ISUr into the Big Dance after a 20 year drought. All 3 seem improbable
right now!

If you are a fan of alternate history you know that there must be a "point of divergence."
The Birds have lost the Arch Madness Final 5 times in the last 9 years. To change that history
someone needs to get hot for 3 days in St Louis or at the very least make the shot that wins
the damn thing. Nic Moore missed his chance, Paris Lee couldn't do it...can Clarance?
Tune in next season to find out!
