Less than 48 hours after being added to his final list, Kentucky has received a Crystal Ball pick for 2022 four-star guard Nick Smith Jr.
Smith, the No. 2 shooting guard and No. 25 overall player in 247Sports’ junior rankings, previously cut his lists to ten schools back in October, with Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Florida, Georgetown, Kansas, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Oral Roberts and Texas Tech remaining in contention.
With John Calipari and the UK coaching staff ramping up contact in recent weeks, the four-star guard is now strongly considering Kentucky, pushing his list of finalists to 11 schools.
