Highlights: Watch future UK Wildcat Robert Dillingham in action at Overtime Elite Pro Week

Anticipation is building for Kentucky’s five-player 2023 recruiting class — which is ranked as the top incoming class in men’s college basketball — to arrive in Lexington.

One of the first players expected to do so is guard Robert Dillingham, who figures to be a central piece for the 2023-24 Wildcats.

A winding prep basketball career recently finished for Dillingham at Overtime Elite, a relatively new professional basketball league in Atlanta that offers a prep school-type environment for high school players.

While Dillingham’s season with OTE’s Cold Hearts team ended in February, Dillingham was back on the OTE Arena court in recent days while taking part in OTE’s Pro Week.

Last Friday, several Kentucky coaches, including UK associate coach Orlando Antigua, watched Dillingham participate in OTE’s Pro Week.

The Pro Week concluded Monday afternoon with three-on-three and five-on-five games for Dillingham against other Overtime Elite players, and in front of plenty of professional scouts.

Here are some highlights from Dillingham’s Pro Week finale, and probably his final on-court basketball work in public before arriving at Kentucky.
