Ex-Kentucky commit Skyy Clark picks Illinois. And the top UK basketball recruiting links.
Former Kentucky Wildcats basketball recruit Skyy Clark has committed to Illinois.
The 6-foot-3 point guard from Los Angeles announced his college decision Thursday evening, a little more than a month after backing out of a longtime commitment to UK. His final list since that decommitment also included Louisville, Maryland, Southern Cal, Tennessee and Washington.
Clark was originally Kentucky’s first commitment for the 2022 class — making that pledge back in October 2020 — but he decommitted from the program last month following a tough year that included suffering a torn ACL last summer. He is the No. 27 overall player in the 2022 class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
