University of Kentucky basketball recruiting

Overview

The University of Kentucky basketball program, under head coach Mark Pope, is engaged in active recruiting efforts for high-profile prospects.

Initial efforts focused on pursuing top-10 prospect Reese Alston, an 8th-ranked point guard, amid competition from the University of Louisville. The program is also managing its current roster, with players like Alex Wilkins and Braydon Hawthorne expected to take on significant roles.

Recruiting efforts have since expanded toward the 2027 class. This includes scheduling an official visit for five-star point guard Nasir Anderson, ranked No. 9 nationally, and extending an offer to top-five wing prospect AJ Williams. Williams is currently in the final stages of recruitment, with several major programs including BYU, Alabama, and Duke involved.
