NCAA Basketball: Where will class of 2022 five-star guard Skyy Clark land?

Michigan Wolverines
One of the Big Ten’s power programs is finding success in the 2021 recruiting class as well, with early commitments from Kobe Bufkin, Isaiah Barnes, and Will Tschetter. Juwan Howard continues to make his presence felt at his alma mater and routinely finds himself in the final running for a majority of recruits he chases. The Wolverines bring back a strong roster in 2020 and will give its younger players plenty of time to adjust and develop to the college game before the 2021 season.
The only position missing projected to be missing from that team is at the point guard spot. Currently, Zeb Jackson or Bufkin would take those duties, but Bufkin may benefit more from playing off the ball as a combo guard and Jackson doesn’t have nearly as much upside as Clark could provide. He’s without a doubt the most dangerous option for the Wolverine opponents to worry about and his proven reputation as a scoring threat on all three levels cannot be ignored.
His leadership on and off the floor is something this program could really use, after losing Zavier Simpson this offseason. Clark sets the tone at both ends and can quickly provide momentum-building plays for the Wolverines to work off of. If there is only one player left for Juwan Howard to sign in the 2021 class, Clark has to be it.
