LEXINGTON - The circumstances of the 2020-21 season were such that Big Blue Nation never got to know Terrence Clarke like it would most highly touted recruits.
The COVID-19 pandemic kept players from interacting with fans at events like the Big Blue Madness campout as they normally would. An ankle injury limited Clarke to just eight games.
He missed all of the Southeastern Conference regular season schedule, and just when Clarke returned to the court in hopes of helping Kentucky to an improbable postseason run, the Wildcats dropped their SEC Tournament opener, ending the season. Clarke declared for the NBA draft just a few weeks later.
