"Coupled with scoring 30 points in that West Regional final against the Red Raiders, Clayton became the first player since Indiana State's Larry Bird in 1979 to have back-to-back 30-point games in the Elite Eight or later. The only other players to accomplish such a feat are a laundry list of legends: Jerry West (West Virginia, 1959), Wilt Chamberlain (Kansas, 1957), Clyde Lovellette (Kansas, 1952)."
Not bad for someone unranked out of high school, with offers from Iona, East Caronlina, and Jacksonville.
