The Kentucky Wildcats lost another one today as freshman BJ Boston has declared for the 2021 NBA Draft.
The 6-7, 185-pound freshman came in ranked as Kentucky’s highest rated recruit at No. 5 overall in the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Boston’s preseason hype was sky high as he dominated the high school basketball ranks playing alongside multiple top prospects, including Bronny James and Zaire Wade, the sons of LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, respectively.
However, the ranking and the hype didn’t quite translate to the college level. Boston showed flashes throughout his freshman season.
