Kentucky four-star Somto Cyril released from national letter of intent, reopens recruitment

Four-star Kentucky commit Somto Cyril has announced that he has decided to reopen his recruitment following the departure of John Calipari to Arkansas.

Cyril was released from his national letter of intent on Wednesday. He committed to UK back on June 28, 2023, and signed his letter of intent on Nov. 8, 2023.

The 6-foot, 10-inch center played in the Overtime Elite league and was offered by Cincinnati, Florida, Georgetown and Indiana.

Now, with Calipari gone, the sweepstakes to get the highly talented and physical big man is back up and running. He was the third commit after Karter Knox on Monday and Jayden Quaintance earlier in the day to decommit from the Cats, who are still without a head coach.
