UCLA Basketball: Louisville Star Transferring To Bruins
Mick Cronin is getting a major reinforcement ahead of the 2024-25 NCAA season.
Louisville Cardinals starting guard Skyy Clark, a former five-star recruit from LA, has revealed that he is transferring yet again, this time to help Cronin's UCLA Bruins recuperate from a miserable 2023-24 run that saw it finish with an underwhelming 16-17 record (10-10 in the Pac-12), while trying to incorporate eight new players, including seven freshmen.
“Home is where the heart is!!” the native Angelo wrote on his official X account, with a Photoshopped image of him in front of the Bruins' home arena, Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins had been seen as a likely landing spot for Clark's services earlier this offseason.
The 6'3" slasher initially committed to the University of Illinois as a freshman in 2022-23, but transferred to the Cardinals, where he blossomed into an elite scorer in the ACC. He averaged 13.2 points on .412/.353/.776 shooting splits, 3.1 rebounds, three assists, and one steal a night across 29 games (28 starts).
He'll fill the open scholarship vacancy left by department freshman guard Ilane Fibleuil, who barely cracked Cronin's rotation this past season and announced he would be entering the NCAA's transfer portal earlier this week.
