The early signing period for college basketball is here, and all four of Kentucky’s commitments for the class of 2023 will be eligible to officially sign with the Wildcats starting Wednesday. That window will close Nov. 16. The Cats’ current class of Aaron Bradshaw, Robert Dillingham, Justin Edwards and Reed Sheppard is ranked No. 2 nationally behind Duke’s five-player class of five-star prospects, but a commitment from DJ Wagner would push UK into the top spot.

Stay tuned for the latest news and notes as the signing period begins. Here’s a look at the top Kentucky basketball recruiting links ...
