Kentucky has picked up its first commitment in the class of 2022.
This evening, five-star junior guard Skyy Clark announced his commitment to UK, choosing the Wildcats over Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA.
Clark, a 6-foot-3 guard out of Brentwood Academy (TN), is considered the No. 14 overall prospect in the 2022 247Sports Composite rankings. Rivals has Clark listed at No. 13 overall in their player rankings, while 247Sports and ESPN have him listed at No. 14 and No. 19, respectively.
Long seen as a heavy Kentucky lean in the spring and into the summer, there were rumblings that a commitment was on the horizon after receiving an offer from John Calipari and the UK coaching staff on July 1, with buzz continuing well into August.
