Mark Pope and his staff have the Kentucky Wildcats currently sitting as one of the top recruiting classes in 2025. With Jasper Johnson and Malachi Moreno on board, the focus has now shifted to several top-40 prospects to pair alongside the talented duo.
By this point, the BBN is familiar with plenty of names, including 5-stars Caleb Wilson, Chris Cenac, Mikel Brown, and Nate Ament, not to mention the 4-star prospects Acaden Lewis and Braylon Mullins.
The Cats are well positioned with most of those names listed above, but according to one recent group of predictions, they may not be the favorites for any of the 5-star guys.
Jamie Shaw of On3 gave us an update this week of where his predictions would land as of today. He has UK in the mix for several but not the choice for any at the moment.
At the moment Shaw has Kentucky as a threat for Wilson (choice being Arkansas) and Cenac (LSU). For Ament (Duke) and Brown (Louisville), the Cats don’t receive any mention outside of the upcoming visit for Brown at the end of September.
Things overall though still seem to be in a good place for the Cats as they really start to hone in on the prospects they will be looking to add to the 2025 class.
Should be fun to watch down the stretch.
