Late Thursday night, 2022 five-star point guard Skyy Clark pledge his commitment to the Kentucky Wildcats over the likes of UCLA, Memphis and North Carolina.
For a while throughout the summer, Clark to Kentucky seemed like a done deal, but then North Carolina made a strong push for the point guard, gaining some steam and eventually earning all of the crystal ball picks.
Over the last few weeks however, Clark to Kentucky was back on the table, and here we are. Clark pulled the trigger and became the first class of 2022 player to pledge his commitment to the Wildcats.
Clark has been rumored to be looking at a possible re-class option to 2021, but for now, Kentucky is prepared to take Clark in the 2022 class.
Will Skyy Clark’s commitment to the Wildcats start at eventual domino effect of recruits here soon? Four-star Bryce Hopkins will be the next Kentucky prospect to commit next, and the chances of Hopkins ending up in Lexington looks likely.
Here’s what Twitter had to say:

Have said all along getting Skyy Clark for 2022 is the ideal scenario for Kentucky. Can still pursue Hunter Sallis without a potential logjam in the backcourt next season.

ESPN 60* five-star guard Skyy Clark set to announce his commitment tonight.

One of the most creative playmakers in the country. Ultra-skilled & shifty with tons of flair. Known for his handle but really shoots too, ton of PnR potential, & good hands defensively.

Skyy Clark to @PaulBiancardi: “It has been a blessing to be recruited by John Calipari and his staff. He is not only a legend in college basketball but in the world of basketball. He is an amazing coach and a better person. I love coach Cal, he keeps it real & makes no promises.”

Five-star junior Skyy Clark has committed to Kentucky. John Calipari gets his guy and has an elite prospect heading to Lexington. One thing I can say for sure?

Thurs-5 star Skyy to Ky
Can’t wait for Friday...
In retrospect, how big was Skyy Clark's unofficial visit to Rupp Arena in late February to watch Kentucky clinch the SEC regular season title against Auburn?
