Angel Delgado, who has seen interest from Kentucky lately, has transferred to Huntington Prep for his senior year.
Huntington Prep head coach Rob Fulford tweeted out the news earlier.
Would like to welcome Angel Delgado to Huntington Prep for his Sr year. Plays every possession like its his last! #HPrepFamily

Ben Roberts of Kentucky.com wrote about Delgado after the Peach Jam and how the UK coaching staff has several ties by way of the Dominican Republic.
Angel Delgado — a Dominican native — came to the United States last year and has been steadily climbing the recruiting rankings. The 6-foot-9 power forward played last season for a high school in Troy, N.Y., but his AAU coach said Delgado will be transferring to a new school for his senior season.
That coach is Dana Dingle, who played alongside Antigua at St. Raymond High School in the Bronx before playing for Calipari at the University of Massachusetts.
Dingle said the UK coaches have been in contact with him about Delgado, who already has offers from Louisville, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Virginia, St. John’s and several others.
There’s no UK offer yet, partly because the Cats’ staff hadn’t seen much of Delgado before this week’s Peach Jam.
