Never seen a Valparaiso game but plan to see two in a couple days when they play slu and siue.  Came on here to see about Don Clay.  I have watched him the past two years and hope I am right.  I think you guys got a steal.  He was voted 1st team all STL by the post dispatch.  Beat out some major players.  Guys In area are going to Ohio star, slu, kstate, Mizzou, Kentucky, North Carolina, creighton.


Can't say he played out of position since he guarded the opponents best player no matter the size.  Held Liddell (top 45 and Ohio state recruit) to 9 and fouled him out.  Held Collinsville pg to 10 below his average and completely took him out of the game. 


Good player his junior year and really good to player his senior year.  Rarely saw him take a bad shot.  Doubt he can play pg, but he should play 2-4.  4 may be challenge at this level, but he can stretch the court with his 3 and also drive it.  On second thought look at above regarding Liddell. Very good handle for his size and good ft shooter. 


He likes to defend.  I know I am biased, but he improved so much between seasons despite growing 4-5 inches.   Good luck this season and hoping Don proves me right.
