There have been whispers in recent weeks that prized recruit Rob Dillingham won’t be able to play at Kentucky next season due to academic eligibility issues.
It’s not clear if those concerns were valid or not, but Dillingham confirmed to Kyle Tucker recently that he will indeed be with the Wildcats next season.
Here is an excerpt from Tucker’s article at The Athletic:
He’d worn a blue T-shirt under his jersey during the OTE combine, where scouts from almost every NBA franchise watched Dillingham dazzle in drills, three-on-three and five-on-five competitions. Afterward, he pulled down his collar to reveal the white lettering on his undershirt: UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY. He grinned. While still declining to be quoted, he did confirm that he’s on track to graduate high school in May and enroll with the rest of UK’s freshmen in early June.

‘Dilly’ has that DAWG mentality in him. Something Kentucky fans will certainly enjoy. #BBN pic.twitter.com/4VVkfaAojN
