Rivals.com updated its 2022 basketball recruiting rankings Tuesday, and two of Kentucky’s signees for next season took a tumble on that list.

Chris Livingston dropped two spots from No. 8 to No. 10 overall, while future Kentucky point guard Skyy Clark fell 14 spots, ending up at No. 35 overall and out of five-star range. Livingston has had a bit of an up-and-down senior year at Oak Hill Academy, and Clark just recently returned to the court from a torn ACL that kept him sidelined for most of the summer recruiting circuit and the first couple of months of the high school season.

Rivals.com unveiled its new top five for 2022 on Monday, and UK signee Cason Wallace moved up from No. 10 to No. 5 overall in that update. Duke has the top three recruits in the new 2022 rankings. There are no uncommitted players in the updated top 25 at Rivals.com.
