Kentucky Basketball tops ESPN 2016 Recruiting Class Rankings

As the 2016 recruiting cycle winds down, the Kentucky Wildcats still have the No. 1 class.

John Calipari has been touting this as his best class since coming to UK, and there's plenty of merit to that claim. De'Aaron Fox, Bam Adebayo and Malik Monk are consensus top-10 prospects in what's regarded as one of the deepest high school classes in recent memory.

And don't count out five-star forwards Wenyen Gabriel and Sacha Killeya-Jones, both of whom have the potential to be college superstars before they leave Lexington for the NBA.

All of this helped the Cats reclaim the top spot in the updated ESPN recruiting class rankings.
