ESPN blurb on Clayton:

[size=12px][url=http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/98636/willie-clayton]Willie Clayton[/url] (Thomasville, Ga./Thomasville)[/size][size=12px]2012, PF, 6-7, 220 pounds [/size]Clayton is a high-energy guy who impacts the game with his effort. He embraces his role and is a great backside rebounder who gets extra possessions for his team. He is limited offensively as most of his offense is eight feet and in, but he plays with a chip on his shoulder and few can match his intensity in the trenches. Elite mid-majors are all over him and the high-majors are taking notice.

You missed something special with that guy. Lang was an absolute beast all 4 years. He, Henry and Dink were my favorite players in that Niner era.

If Jarvis doesn’t break his arm Henry’s sr year that team could have been very special.

Perhaps, but the '95 team likely would not have been Dancing had that not happened.
