5-star shooting guard Shaedon Sharpe commits to Kentucky over Arizona, others

As expected, five-star shooting guard Shaedon Sharpe committed to Kentucky on Tuesday, choosing the Wildcats over Arizona, Kansas, Gonzaga, Oklahoma State and the G League Ignite.

All eight 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions predicted Sharpe would commit to Kentucky.

“Coach Cal’s track record of developing NBA players had a major impact on my decision,” Sharpe told ESPN. “I can see that he does a great job of working with athletes of my position and playing style and getting them to be the best versions of themselves. His experience is a large part of why I chose UK, but he believed in the vision and goals that I had for myself as well.
