Kentucky Basketball in the Mix for Top 2021 Recruits

Jeff Borzello of ESPN has ranked the top recruits of the 2021 class and has Kentucky in the mix for several of the big names.

Borzello mentions Kentucky recruiting 3 of the top 5 players in the class.

Take a look.

2. Patrick Baldwin Jr., 6-9, 200 pounds, PF- Duke, which landed Baldwin AAU teammate Jalen Johnson in the 2020 class, leads the way if Baldwin decides not to play for his father. Kentucky also is expected to be a major factor. He has visited Duke, Milwaukee, Northwestern and North Carolina.

3. Paolo Banchero, 6-8, 230 pounds, PF- It’s hard to find a true favorite, but Kentucky is in a strong position, while Gonzaga and Tennessee likely make up the next tier. I wouldn’t count out any of the six, though.

4. Jaden Hardy, 6-5, 185 pounds, SG- Kentucky has been considered the leader for most of Hardy’s recruitment.
