Yet another high-profile guard and former Kentucky target is staying in the SEC. Just one day after Nick Smith Jr. announced his commitment to Arkansas, five-star prospect Jaden Bradley has also come off the board, picking Alabama on Thursday.

The consensus top-25 prospect chose the Crimson Tide over Arizona, Florida State and Gonzaga, among other finalists. Kentucky was once seen as a heavy favorite in Bradley’s recruitment before other top guard options emerged for the Wildcats.

A perfect fit for the Tide
