Overview

  • Clark entered the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday while he awaits a ruling on a waiver for a fifth year of eligibility.
  • His waiver cites a 13-game freshman season at Illinois after he left to support his ailing father.
  • He averaged 11.5 points this season for UCLA, shot 42.7% from three, and missed 10 Big Ten games with a hamstring injury.
  • UCLA expects Perry to be the primary point guard next season, so the staff is targeting a shooter or combo guard to reshape the backcourt.
  • If the NCAA denies the waiver, Clark could sign with an agent and pursue a professional path.
