Kentucky making strong push for numerous high-profile 2022 basketball prospects

John Calipari and the Kentucky coaching staff are hitting the ground running on the program’s 2022 recruiting class, with five high-profile prospects in the rising senior class singling out UK as a school recruiting each of them the hardest.

In one-on-one conversations with Tipton Edits, five- and four-star prospects Brandon Miller, Shaedon Sharpe, Nick Smith, Vincent Iwuchukwu and Dereck Lively II all listed Kentucky among the schools recruiting them the hardest.

For Miller, UK joins Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Ole Miss, Illinois, Kansas, Tennessee State and Saint Louis among those making strong pushes.
