JJ Taylor talks Kentucky visit

With the Kentucky Wildcats’ 2022 class all but wrapped up, attention has shifted to the 2023 recruiting class and the next wave of potential commitments.

UK already has Reed Sheppard committed to the program, while they’ve made contact with multiple players, specifically those at the top of the class. One of those players would be JJ Taylor, a 6-foot-8 forward from Chicago who is currently playing at Donda Academy in California.

After a visit from Coach Calipari at the end of September, Taylor came to Lexington for an official visit back on October 22nd. Travis Branham of 247 Sports spoke with Taylor at the Tarkanian Classic over the weekend about his recruitment and his thoughts on the visit to Lexington.
