Recruiting news for the Kentucky Women’s Basketball team hasn’t been as prevalent as it should be, so we’re going to change that right now.
Head coach Matthew Mitchell has established the Wildcat program as a consistent SEC contender over the last decade-plus and he shows no signs of slowing down. With reigning SEC Player of the Year Rhyne Howard as the centerpiece for the next two seasons, Kentucky’s recognition within the national media is going to skyrocket. The future of the program is incredibly bright, even after Howard eventually graduates and makes her way to the WNBA.
Mitchell has built a culture within the program that his players buy into and the top prospects in the high school ranks are taking notice.
