Adam Clark, a 5’10” sophomore guard from Merrimack, has officially entered the transfer portal after an outstanding season. Averaging 19.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game, Clark established himself as one of the most productive guards in mid-major basketball. His quickness, scoring ability, and playmaking make him an attractive target for several programs seeking an instant-impact player.

Merrimack had a strong 21-12 record, and Clark’s leadership was a key reason for their success. His ability to score at all three levels, facilitate an offense, and play aggressive defense makes him a valuable addition to a team looking for an experienced backcourt leader.

1) Saint Joseph’s Hawks
With Erik Reynolds II departing, Saint Joseph’s is in need of a new primary scoring guard, and Clark could step in immediately. The Hawks ranked outside the top 100 in offensive efficiency, so adding a 19.8 ppg scorer would be a major boost.
His ability to push the tempo and facilitate would fit well in the Hawks’ offense. Clark would be the go to option in the backcourt and get the freedom to run the offense in a competitive A-10 program.
2) Temple Owls
Temple is desperate for scoring, losing their best offensive weapon in Miller. Clark’s ability to score both on ball and off ball would allow him to fit seamlessly into their system. Temple allowed 73.2 ppg last season, and Clark’s defensive presence (2.2 spg) would improve their backcourt.
Temple provides Clark with a big market program and the chance to be a primary playmaker at a school known for developing guards.
3) Georgia Bulldogs
Georgia is losing two double-digit scoring guards, opening the door for Clark to become an immediate contributor. The Bulldogs struggled with three-point shooting (32.8%), and Clark’s improved perimeter shot could help.
He would also benefit from playing against elite SEC competition, which could prepare him for a pro career. Clark would face tough competition but would have the chance to prove himself in one of the top conferences in the country.
4) Providence Friars
Providence just lost Devin Carter, their leading scorer, and Clark could help fill that gap.
The Friars ranked 8th in turnovers per game in the Big East, so Clark’s 6.0 APG and ball control would help stabilize their offense.
Providence loves tough, defensive-minded players, and Clark’s 2.2 SPG fits their identity.
Providence offers a strong basketball culture and a system where Clark could thrive both offensively and defensively.
5) Gonzaga Bulldogs
Gonzaga is known for developing elite guards, and Clark’s skill set matches their style. His scoring ability and playmaking would give the Zags a dynamic backcourt option.
While he might not start immediately, he could develop into a high-level contributor under Mark Few. If Clark wants a winning culture, strong coaching, and long-term development, Gonzaga is an elite option.
