Milena Clarke
Height: 5’11”
Grad Year / Position: 2017 – Wing
School / Hometown: East Carter HS (Ashland, Ky.)
Committed College: Kenyon College

Quick Scoop:

Clarke is a versatile wing who can stretch the floor with her jumper or mix it up on the interior with the post players. While she can also help with ball handling responsibilities, her position at the next level is most likely to be on the wing. Her willingness to do what it takes for her team shines through as she routinely is asked to play as a post player. As effective of a basketball player she is, she is even better in the classroom. High academic schools have already been in touch with the senior wing.
