Coty Clarke is a sophomore this season at Lawson State Community College (Birmingham, Alabama)- he is a 6'7" wing player, originally from Pinson Valley HS in Birmingham, Alabama. Last season as a freshman at Lawson State College he averaged 11.1 ppg and 11.3 rpg. He shot 62% from the field. He even shot 53% from three, but didn't shoot many threes (8 for 15).
Scroll down on this page to see his complete stats from his freashman season-

He was pretty good in high school- 3rd team All State, 17.5 ppg and 11.5 rpg. There were some pretty exceptional players ahead of him on the 1st and 2nd All State teams-

But apparently he did not qualify for D1, and went to Lawson State.

He is a very aggressive rebounder, and out of the names I heard, he made perhaps the biggest impression on our coaches. He is a great kid, and has a younger brother who will also be on this year's Lawson State team.
Wichita State, Mississippi State, and Washington State are also recruiting him. This is a kid who would make an immediate impact at Bradley.

Kid was a beast in the last 4 games of the season - Very big wing and if he can rebound, (especially offensively, which we have lacked in quite a few seasons) that's a plus! Sounds like he'd be a good pick-up, and possibly replacement for TB?
 
Coty Clarke will be visiting Bradley in the near future. He is a great rebounder, and the kind of frontcourt player Bradley needs for next year.
 
Thanks for posting those. But Coty can do a lot more than dunk. He is a very good shooter, has a decent handle with the ball, and will be a very good defensive player wherever he lands in D1.

Coty Clarke continues to put up monster numbers...

After eight games for Lawson State (albeit not the very toughest opponents)

Here are Coty's stats...
15.8 ppg, 12.8 rpg (3rd in nation), 67% FG accuracy, 5-9 (56%) on 3-pt,
6,4 assists per game, 1.6 blocks, 2.8 steals..
not a bad stat line!

Did he sign with anyone? He would be a good addition to next seasons team.

He has decided to wait until spring to sign.

Coty has a HUGE opportunity to be an immediate impact player at BU from Day 1....but I have heard Bradley is not in the running and has moved on (and signed Pickett with the scholly that was available for Coty).

Is this true?
 
Coty hasn't even been the best player on his own team lately -- a 6-3 guard named Charles Eaton who also plays at Lawson State has been on a tear
and was named the NATIONAL PLAYER of the WEEK by NJCAA
http://njcaa.org/newsArticle.cfm?articleId=16516

Coty won this same award a month ago -

Eaton is coming off a 37 point night and has almost 100 points in his last 3 outings getting his scoring average up to 17.5 ppg


Meanwhile Coty's numbers have been slipping - and although still a very good player - Coty's scoring average is now 16.7 ppg, and FG shooting % at 56%
(COMPARED TO Tyshon Pickett's numbers against considerably superior competition 15.2 ppg, 61% FG shooting)
 
I don't think Coty Clarke is a very likely recruit for BU. I hear we are focusing on other preps and jucos.
 
Coty Clarke's season is also over...
after his Lawson State squad beat both Bishop State (85-70) & Alabama Southern (81-61) last week..
they lost Saturday night to Shelton State (96-85) who then proceeded to lose in the Region XXII Championship to Mitchell Anderson's old junior college Wallaceville 68-66.
 
Coty Clarke put up pretty awesome numbers but he's till looking and hasn't verballed anywhere

he just told his local newspaper in a report from this morning...
"Clarke??™s offers: Lawson State forward Coty Clarke, a former Antioch player, has
offers from Georgia, Bradley and Southern Mississippi. The 6-foot-7 sophomore
averaged 14.5 points and 13 rebounds for Lawson State."
