The 6-foot-3 Montverde Academy (FL) product decommitted from Kentucky in March.

Illinois coach Brad Underwood and assistant Tim Anderson held an in-home visit with Clark recently, sources said.

With the Illini seeing a severe loss in backcourt depth, most recently Andre Curbelo’s transfer, Champaign seems like a very possible destination for Clark.

USC is also the local school for him since he’s a California native.
