Another spring weekend brought another series of travel basketball events on the various shoe circuits around the country.

The Nike EYBL circuit went to Phoenix and the Adidas 3SSB circuit went to Texas, while other top prospects were in action in other various locales.

This past weekend was another recruiting live period as well, which meant college basketball coaches were able to watch all of the action in person.

From a pair of 2024 Kentucky recruits playing with each other on the Adidas circuit, to a headline-making performance from another 2024 UK recruit on the Nike circuit, it was another weekend full of storylines concerning future recruiting classes for John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats.

Other news of note from the college basketball recruiting world includes a five-star, former UK recruit asking out of his national letter of intent with Texas, and Louisville adding another player from the NCAA transfer portal.
