Kentucky just received their first commitment of the class of 2019 in five-star forward DJ Jeffries.
ESPN lists Jeffries as the No. 17 prospect in 2019 and 247 Sports considers him the 26th-best recruit in the class.
He chose the Wildcats over Alabama, Mississippi State, Florida, and Kansas, among others.
