Five-star point guard Skyy Clark announced his commitment to Illinois today, choosing the Illini over several other prominent programs.
Clark, who starred for Montverde (Fla.) Academy, originally committed to Kentucky in October 2020 but backed off that pledge on March 6. Late last month, he shared a top six of Illinois, Louisville, Maryland, Tennessee, USC and Washington.
“Honestly, Illinois was the spot I was looking at after I decommitted,” Clark told On3Sports. “I’ve known Coach Tim (Anderson) since eighth grade. So I’ve known him for a long time.”
Clark is the fifth-rated point guard and 27th-ranked overall recruit in the class of 2022, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings.

With Clark in the fold, Illinois’ 2022 recruiting class is solidly placed in the top 10 nationally.
Head coach Brad Underwood also secured commitments from four-star high school prospects Ty Rodgers, Jayden Epps and Sencire Harris, as well as one from four-star transfer Dain Dainja.
