Shaedon Sharpe, the No. 1-ranked prospect in the high school class of 2022 according to Rivals and ESPN, announced Tuesday that he will enroll at Kentucky for the second semester this season.
Sharpe told Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated that he will report to Lexington after Christmas and that he won't play in any games this season, but wants to begin training as early as possible.
“I'll do whatever the team needs, but 100% I will be at Kentucky to play next season," he told Sports Illustrated when asked about potentially playing this season.
