Clarke expected to join Owls

OwlScoop.com reported last Monday that Temple basketball coach Fran Dunphy has added 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward Chris Clarke, and that he is expected to be eligible to play this season. (And no, he is not related to former guard Chris Clark, though the name is sure to cause some confusion.)

Clarke, who played with Pensacola Junior College, suited up for St. Mary’s Prep in Orchard Lake, Mich., in high school. There, he led his team to a Class A regional championship his junior year. As a senior, Clarke was a preseason all-state selection.
