The Virginia men’s basketball team received a commitment from guard Kihei Clark on Monday.

Clark, a 5-foot-9, 145-pound guard who plays for Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California, announced his commitment to the Cavaliers on his Twitter feed.

“I’m excited to announce I have verbally committed to the University of Virginia!,” Clark wrote on Twitter on Monday night. Clark’s post included a picture of him with UVa coach Tony Bennett as well as a photo of former Cavalier guard and California native London Perrantes. “I’m fired up to be a Hoo!”

He is rated as a three-star recruit by the 247sports composite.

Clark, who averaged 18.1 points and 7.5 assists a game as a junior, was originally committed to UC Davis, but decommitted over the summer and reopened his recruitment.

Clark joins Australian guard Kody Stattmann in the Cavaliers’ 2018 recruiting class.
