This past weekend was a big one for Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball in what was the first Big Blue Madness of the Mark Pope era.
The event has hosted multiple 5-star recruits in years past, and this year was no different.
While the guest list was smaller due to the USA Basketball junior mini camp, the Wildcats had two recruits in attendance: Anthony Thompson and Acaden Lewis.
The latter is one of Kentucky’s biggest recruiting priorities in the 2025 class and was also on campus for an official visit as he prepares to make his college decision in early November.
To help was 5-star commit Malachi Moreno.
While Moreno couldn’t make it to Big Blue Madness, he was able to meet with Lewis during his visit on Thursday and even took part in his photo shoot as the pair posed together in Kentucky uniforms in Rupp Arena.
It helps to have a 5-star commitment just down the road to help recruit. Could we see the pair play together next season at Kentucky?
Things are trending in that direction, but time will tell if it comes to pass.
