More Kentucky basketball recruiting links: Former UK targets commit to SEC schools
UK Coach John Calipari was back in California on Tuesday to meet with Prolific Prep center Adem Bona, just three days before the five-star recruit is scheduled to arrive in Lexington for his official visit.
Calipari also visited with Bona earlier this month. Kentucky and UCLA are now viewed as the two frontrunners in Bona’s recruitment, with UK scheduled to host him for an official visit starting Friday and UCLA set for its official visit in late October.
Bona — a 6-foot-11 prospect from Nigeria — is the Wildcats’ top frontcourt target in the 2022 class.
247Sports analyst Travis Branham reported Tuesday that UK commitment Chris Livingston will also take an official visit to Kentucky this weekend. Livingston took his first official visit to UK in June and committed to the Cats earlier this month.
