Montverde Academy basketball reloading with transfers

Montverde Academy is one of the few high school basketball programs in the country that reloads every offseason

Montverde Academy is one of the few high school basketball programs in the country that reloads every offseason instead of going through a rebuild when hit by heavy graduation losses.

That has once again been the case this offseason, as Montverde Academy has recently welcomed some top-end talent into its program after watching the likes of DaRon Homes (Houston), Caleb Houstan (Michigan), Langston Love (Baylor) and Ryan Nembhard (Creighton) graduate.

Forwards Omaha Biliew and Kwame Evans Jr. and guard Skyy Clark have all left their respective high school programs to join legendary head coach Kevin Boyle at Montverde. Clark, a Kentucky commit, is the No. 11 recruit in the class of 2022, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Biliew and Evans Jr. are both class of 2023 recruits. The 6-foot-8, 190-pound Evans Jr. is the No. 5 recruit in the class, while Biliew checks in at No. 6 in the rankings. Biliew transferred to Montverde after spending last year at Waukee High School in Iowa. Evans Jr. played last season at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in Maryland.

Montverde could lose one of its best players in Jalen Duren, the No. 2 recruit in the class of 2022, if he chooses to reclassify into 2021, but the cupboard is most definitely full for Boyle and company. With Biliew, Clark and Evans Jr. joining a roster that already features Jalen Hood-Schifino, Malik Reneau and Dariq Whitehead, Montverde is in a good position to defend its national title next season.

Class of 2022 point guard Skyy Clark lists USC among his top-8

The USC Trojans are listed alongside Kentucky, North Carolina, UCLA, Oregon and a few others for the services of point guard Skyy Clark.

Skyy Clark, an elite point guard in the class of 2022, has narrowed his list of schools down to eight – and the USC Trojans are still in the running.

Clark, a native of Northridge, California, listed USC alongside Oregon, North Carolina, Kentucky, UCLA, Michigan, Memphis and HBCU Tennessee State.

“I have decided to cut my recruitment down to my final 8 schools which I feel will help me best attain my goals on and off the court,” Clark added on Twitter. “Some very hard decisions had to be made but here is my final 8 right now. God bless.”

Clark is currently the 15th ranked prospect in the class of 2022 according to 247Sports’ composite rankings, with most expecting a jump into the top-10 when the rankings are updated.

Some believed he would reclassify to 2021, especially after narrowing his choices so early in the process, but it sounds like he is still planning to wait until 2022.

Regardless, he will be an instant impact player at the collegiate level, and while most signs point to Kentucky at this point, he’s a recruit worth keeping an eye on – and would be a huge get for coach Andy Enfield and his staff.
