Watch Kentucky basketball recruit Ron Holland at the Nike EYBL session in Louisville

Ron Holland is one of the top college basketball recruits in the Class of 2023.

From Texas, Holland plays for Duncanville High School and for Drive Nation on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) circuit.

Holland is ranked as the No. 9 player in the Class of 2023 by the 247Sports Composite, and the 6-8 power forward is set to visit Kentucky on June 13.

While Holland doesn’t yet have a scholarship offer from UK, one is expected to be on the way soon.

Last weekend, Holland said he has “a good feeling” a Kentucky scholarship offer will follow his visit to the school.

Holland was in the Commonwealth last weekend with Drive Nation to play in the Nike EYBL session, held at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville.

Here’s more than one minute of highlights from Holland’s game with Drive Nation against Team Melo on Saturday morning.

During the five-game Nike EYBL session in Louisville, Holland (who currently holds scholarship offers from the likes of Arkansas, Kansas, Memphis, Texas and UCLA, among others) averaged 10.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
