Kentucky kids included in national rankings, and more UK basketball recruiting links
Kentucky Wildcats basketball commitment Reed Sheppard isn’t the only high school recruit from the commonwealth making noise on a national level.
Sheppard is the No. 17 player in the new Rivals.com rankings for the 2023 class, and he was joined in the website’s rankings update this week by several other fellow Kentucky prep stars. Those new 2023 rankings featured big jumps by Louisville Christian guard George Washington III, who moved up 30 spots to the No. 35 overall position, and Male forward Kaleb Glenn, who moved up 25 spots to the No. 36 position nationally. Glenn is committed to Louisville, and Washington is committed to Ohio State.
The Rivals.com 2023 list also now includes Ballard guard Gabe Sisk at No. 132 nationally and Lexington Catholic big man Reece Potter at No. 149 overall. Both of those juniors remain uncommitted.
Rivals also extended its 2024 rankings to include the top 75 sophomores in the country. Making that list were Lyon County point guard Travis Perry at No. 66 overall and Elizabethtown power forward Ayden Evans at No. 69.
