Bobcat baller takes game global
Former Bobcat basketball star Aaron Clark signed a professional contract with a club team in Istanbul, Turkey. Clark leaves on Sept. 10 to join his new squad TED Istanbul.
Clark, who played center for GCSU, will compete in Turkey’s second professional basketball division. TB2L contains two groups each with 12 teams.
TED Istanbul finished the 2007-2008 season with a 7-13 record in Group B.
Adjusting to the international style is not the only worry for Clark as the departure looms.
“I’m trying to figure out things like having a cell phone over there and working out the process for absentee voting,” Clark said.
Also, training camp revs up soon after his arrival.
Four years at GCSU developed his game beyond even his own expectations, Clark admits. Professional basketball was a foreign thought when he arrived freshman year.
“I owe guys like (former Bobcats) Ronnie Dennis and Shejdie Childs for pushing me my first two years,” Clark said. ” They motivated me because we needed each other to win.”
