The UCLA Bruins men’s basketball team landed a huge addition in the transfer portal. Louisville guard Skyy Clark made his decision final on the same day he took a visit to Westwood.
Clark began his career at Illinois and spent this past season at Louisville. However, with Kenny Payne leaving, a flurry of Cardinals players entered the portal, and now the Los Angeles native returns back home to play for Mick Cronin’s team.
After the decision was announced, Clark revealed why he chose UCLA instead of others, per Joe Tipton of On3.
“It’s home,” Clark said. “I was raised in LA. I was recruited by Cronin and the coaching staff in the past and I trust in their vision for the team and for me.”
Clark had UCLA originally in his final four programs before he chose to go to North Carolina and then later head to Illinois, where he played in just a handful of games.
Nonetheless, Clark is back in LA and is a huge addition to the program as they gear up to transition to the Big Ten.
