The Kentucky Wildcats’ 2019 class is looking great, and a big part of that is five-star small forward Kahlil Whitney.
Whitney is the No. 12 player in the class of 2019 on the 247 Sports composite. He’s also ranked the No. 4 small forward by the same metric, which measures all of the recruiting rankings.
He’s ranked as high as No. 6 overall in 2019, and there’s a belief he could finish even higher before it’s all said and done.
Prior to picking Kentucky in August, Whitney was favored to commit to Illinois, who had been recruiting him for much longer, and they also had former Kentucky assistant Orlando Antigua.
