Earl Clark is headed back to college.

A source close to the situation told FOXSports.com that the versatile and talented sophomore won't go through the process and will return to Louisville for another year.

This puts the Cardinals, who were a verge Top 25 team without Clark, as a legitimate Top 10 club with Clark in the fold.

Rick Pitino has four starters back and he'll add two quality big men in Samardo Samuels and Terrence Jennings.
