Is Kentucky a contender for 2021 star Peyton Watson?

The No. 1 player in the state of California has become a hot commodity on the recruiting trail. Corey Evans from Rivals recently broke down Peyton Watson’s recruitment, including Kentucky’s chances on landing the 5-star wing.

John Calipari has yet to offer Watson a scholarship, but the Wildcats staff has remained in close contact during quarantine. Evans believes that, if a scholarship comes soon, Kentucky will definitely be a contender to land the 6-7 forward.
