Five-star center Baye Fall averaged 17.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots per game over the weekend at the Mustang Madness event in Paducah, where his Denver Prep Academy team split a pair of games against top competition, defeating Minnesota Prep, 81-66, and losing to Dream City Christian (Ariz.), 58-44.

Fall is the No. 1-ranked center in the 2023 class, and his coach told the Herald-Leader last week that Kentucky is one of the schools he would like to visit once he begins to take the next steps in his recruitment.
