UCLA guard Skyy Clark entered the transfer portal while awaiting official word from the NCAA on a waiver request for a fifth year of eligibility.
Clark averaged 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26 games this past season for the Bruins, while shooting 42.7% from 3-point range. He missed a stretch of 10 consecutive Big Ten Conference games with a hamstring injury.
A five-star recruit who committed to DePaul as an eighth-grader, Clark later committed to Kentucky and then-coach John Calipari before his senior season in high school.
He eventually landed at Illinois. But he wasn’t there for long.
Just 13 games (12 starts) into his freshman season, Clark left for personal reasons and cited that partial year in his plea to the NCAA to play in 2026-27.
In January of 2023, Clark said he needed to “step away from basketball for the time being – putting myself and my family first.”
The well-traveled Clark transferred to Louisville for the 2023-24 season and spent the past two seasons with the Bruins. He dedicated the past season to his father, who passed away in May of last year.
Clark, who turns 23 in June, has played 102 career games with 97 starts and averaged 10.4 points per game.
