Recruiting news took a hit for Kentucky basketball this week. Quayden Samuels, a 6-foot-5 5-star shooting guard from Bishop McNamara (MD), is no longer expected to visit Lexington, per KSR+.

Samuels earned a Kentucky offer back in June after impressing at the NBPA Top 100 Camp. At the time, his mother even told KSR+ they were expecting to schedule an official visit. That has now changed. “I don’t think we will be taking a visit there,” she said Monday.
