Douglass point guard Stephen Clark offered scholarship by Oklahoma

Douglass point guard Stephen Clark received a scholarship offer from Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger on Monday.

Add Oklahoma to the list of college basketball programs seeking the services of Douglass point guard Stephen Clark.

Clark was invited to the Sooners’ game against Missouri on Monday night, and head coach Lon Kruger offered the 5-foot-10 junior a scholarship, as first reported by ESPN.

“Coach Kruger told us he wanted Stephen as a Sooner,” said Dorshell Clark, Stephen’s mother. “So maybe we can begin building a relationship with him and the other coaches.”

Oklahoma joins more than a dozen other programs pursuing Clark, along with the likes of Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Connecticut, Missouri, Memphis and Marquette.

Clark is the third in-state player the Sooners have offered a scholarship, along with Edmond Memorial point guard Jordan Woodard and Tulsa Washington shooting guard Juwan Parker.
