Five-star guard Hunter Sallis cuts list to eight, includes Kentucky

2021 five-star guard Hunter Sallis is down to eight schools, with the Kentucky Wildcats included among the remaining finalists.

Sallis, a 6-foot-5 guard out of Omaha, Neb., is now considering Kentucky, North Carolina, Gonzaga, Iowa State, Kansas, UCLA, Creighton and Oregon. The five-star prospect has cut Auburn, Alabama, Louisville and Michigan from contention.

Considered the No. 6 overall player and No. 1 point guard in the Rivals recruiting rankings, Sallis received an official scholarship offer from Kentucky back on Aug. 21, with momentum quickly shifting in UK’s favor not long after. The Wildcats have picked up four consecutive Crystal Ball picks over at 247Sports and four FutureCasts at Rivals.
