Rivals picks Kentucky to land Jaden Hardy, Paolo Banchero, and Brandon Huntley-Hatfield

It’s no secret Kentucky has been in solid position with five-star recruiting targets Paolo Banchero, Jaden Hardy, and Brandon Huntley-Hatfield for months now, both publicly and behind the scenes.

Today, though, Corey Evans of Rivals.com took it a step further by projecting all three to Kentucky in the class of 2021.

Hardy has long been seen as a heavy UK lean, and in today’s update, Evans said the 6-foot-4 guard out of Las Vegas is “the likeliest 2021 Kentucky commitment.”

“Jaden Hardy committing to anyone but Kentucky would be one of the bigger surprises I could see happening in the coming months,” Evans said.
