5-star '24 C Jayden Quaintance includes Kentucky in final four

Jayden Quaintance is inching closer to a final decision. On Monday night, the five-star center announced that he’s down to just four college options — and one of them is Kentucky.

Along with the Wildcats, Quaintance is considering Florida, Ohio State, and Missouri, according to On3’s Joe Tipton, who also reports that the G League Ignite is no longer in the running. The 6-foot-10 big man reclassified from the class of 2025 to 2024, meaning the 16-year-old will need to spend at least two years at the post-high school level before making the leap to the NBA.
