Kentucky freshman Shaedon Sharpe hasn’t taken the basketball court for the Wildcats yet, but he’s still been a hot topic among UK fans over the past few weeks.

Sharpe appeared on the “Behind Kentucky Basketball” podcast this week to talk about his time on campus so far, his impressions of practicing with the Wildcats, and more. The former No. 1-ranked recruit didn’t make any definitive statements on his future at UK or whether he will see any game action for the Cats in the coming days or weeks, but he did mention playing for Kentucky next season, another sign that he does plan to come back and be part of the program for the 2022-23 campaign.
