Ole Miss reaches out to Penn point guard Clark Slajchert
The quest to rebuild the Ole Miss basketball roster continues for Chris Beard and Co. On Sunday, the Rebels reached out to now former Penn point guard Clark Slajchert. The 6-foot-1 prospect averaged 18 points per game for the Quakers this season, shooting 42 percent from three-point range.
On3’s Jamie Shaw reported Sunday afternoon the Los Angeles, Calif., guard has already heard from Ole Miss as well as Kansas, Virginia, East Carolina, Winthrop, New Mexico State, Furman and Valparaiso, among others.
Last week, Slajchert was named to the All-Ivy second team after leading Penn in scoring for the 2023-2024 season. He also became the 43rd player in program history to score 1,000 points. He will now try to find a home for his final year of collegiate eligibility which he cannot use at Penn due to the Ivy League’s policy prohibiting graduate students from participating in athletics.
Clark Slajchert was a key cog for Penn’s backcourt throughout his career.
As a senior at Oak Park (Calif.), he led the team to a 27-3 record and scored 2,833 points. This was good enough for second in Ventura County history and 17th in California history. Oak Park went 89-30 during his four years. He led the state in scoring (31.0 points per game) and was named CCL Player of the Year as a senior.
