Watch Kentucky basketball recruit Robert Dillingham at the Nike EYBL session in Louisville

Robert Dillingham is one of the top college basketball recruit in the class of 2023.

From North Carolina, Dillingham plays for Kanye West’s Donda Academy in California and for Team CP3 on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) circuit.

Dillingham is ranked as the No. 8 player in the class of 2023 by the 247Sports Composite, and the 6-2 point guard is considered a likely addition to the Kentucky basketball team.

Dillingham holds a scholarship offer from UK and visited the Wildcats last October. He will be announcing his college decision June 24.

Kentucky landed a Crystal Ball prediction for Dillingham last week.

Dillingham was in Louisville last weekend with Team CP3 to play in the Nike EYBL session, held at the Kentucky Expo Center.

Here’s more than one minute of highlights from Dillingham’s game with Team CP3 against The Family on Sunday night.

During the five-game Nike EYBL session in Louisville, Dillingham averaged 22.4 points per game. He scored 20 or more points in four games on high shot volume.
