Well, he'll be close to home at The University for Spoiled Children. I wish him only success. |

At one time 40-50 years ago USC was considered the ugly stepchild to UCLA. No longer. These are now both excellent schools.

USC better be; they charge IVY prices... Not to mention the fees that unscrupulous advisors charge to "back door" the student past admissions. |

Can someone remind me if he graduated from Penn? Just wondering. Sounds like a great opportunity for him to take a turn at the next level. Any chance Bronny will stay too? |

Honestly, at this point the cost of attending most colleges in this country is just astronomical.

This is a no-brainer for Slajchert, then. Congratulations to him. He gets to go home, gets tuition free education at a great school, and possibly gets some NIL - all to do what he loves. He has his degree in-hand (and possibly a masters) for whenever he moves on to his next career. My only concern for him is PT. USC is in big flux given the coaching change, so I don't know how this will go. It isn't obvious to me that a major conference team will start such a wiry player. There's a lot of discussion on the USC board about how he's a shooter. While he finally did put together his three point shooting in his last year, I wouldn't describe him as a three point gunner. I'm not sure if a major conference team can properly use his strengths by turning an offense over to him, and handle the defensive challenges he will have against very physical opponents. |

Pac12 NIL for a starter is mid-6 figures. |

Curious to see whether defense is really an issue. Depending on the makeup of the team, it can be a lot easier to hide one small defender on a high major squad. Mike Smith, for example, was at times a defensive liability at Columbia, where he had to carry the load offensively and had to handle some of the toughest defensive assignments. I thought he was fine at Michigan. You could say some similar things about Jordan Dingle. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Clark is fine defensively at USC, particularly if he comes off the bench and/or plays shorter stints. I also think he can probably function as a shooter. Just because he didn’t fill that role at Penn doesn’t mean he can’t. |

If somebody runs a lot of curls for him into the lane he’ll be a huge pain to defend. That runner/floater stuff he does means that stopping him at the rim isn’t enough. |

Yeah, when he's hitting those runners, he is very hard to stop. If he develops a good 3 point game off of the curls and also off of stepbacks, he will be unstoppable. He has a lot of the pieces... |
