Default C4 Corvette will not start

My 94 LT1 ( 6 speed manual) suddenly will not start. Thought it was battery as I could see on gauge that it was low voltage (11.2) for the last couple of weeks and seemed to be charging more than normal while driving and twice needed to jump it . Starter worked like a champ with the jump and ran fine when I parked it- but next morning nada even with a jump. Replaced battery today- but when I insert key and depress clutch to start- all I get is a click. There is definitely juice ( headlights and radio and gauges all work) but starter motor doesn’t engage. Any thoughts on causes?

Bad starter connection is my guess.
