Ranking the Contenders for 5-star big man Ugonna Kingsley

Ugonna Kingsley is On3’s No. 5 player in the 2023 player rankings. I have gone on record saying he is the best defensive high school big we have seen in the last five years. How he can dictate the outcome of a game without needing the ball is the most impressive part of his game.

On3 caught up with Kingsley at the Pangos All-American camp to get the latest on his recruitment; Kingsley mentioned Kentucky, UConn, and Kansas at the beginning of June.

However, after gathering more intel from around the recruitment, sources say there has become a very clear top-three to land the Putnam (CT) Science Academy center.
