Few things I found about Clement:

May 18: Clement Catches On
by John Manuel

Scouts say Southern California catcher Jeff Clement has made strides with his defense in his junior season, and he gave more evidence of why he’s considered a first-round talent in the Trojans’ 13-6 loss Tuesday at Notre Dame. Friend of BA Mark Gonzales, the Chicago Tribune’s White Sox beat writer, took in the game at South Bend and reports that Clement showed much-improved blocking skills. As far as throwing, USC called a pitchout in the fifth inning, and Clement nailed Irish runner Craig Cooper on a perfect throw.
At the plate, Clement went 3-for-3 with an RBI double, each time working deep in the count and showing more of an inclination to use the whole field than in his first two seasons. Clement lashed an outside 0-2 fastball for a double to center field in his first at-bat, then followed with a line-drive single to left-center in the third.
In the fourth, the Irish pitching coach showed Clement the utmost respect, visiting the mound with a 1-2 count on Clement and no one on base. Clement got hit in the back on a Derik Olvey curveball on a 2-2 pitch. In the sixth off reliever Scott Bickford, Clement gets hit again on a curve. In the ninth, Clement looked anxious in swinging at the first pitch against Jeff Manship and reaches safely on what looked like an infield error but was ruled a hit.

He also talks about other college specs for the draft.

Jeff Clement, C, University of Southern California
Hitting .380/.514/.663, 10 homers, 39 walks, 29 strikeouts in 166 at-bats. Excellent power from the left side, also has good plate discipline. The big thing for Clement this year is improved defense. While he won't be a gold glove, his defense is good enough now that he can remain as a catcher in pro ball. New rumors have him possibly going to the Diamondbacks first overall. If that does not happen, he certainly won't last past the first eight or nine picks.
