Rivals says Kentucky is out of the running for Jonathan Kuminga

For Kentucky fans holding out hope for a late addition from 2021 five-star forward Jonathan Kuminga, Rivals recruiting expert Corey Evans has some bad news for you.

In a recruiting update published this week, Evans said the consensus top-five prospect is still expected to (officially) reclassify to the class of 2020, but the professional route remains as the overwhelming favorite.

In fact, Evans said he would be “rather shocked” if the five-star prospect ever suits up at the college level.

“I would be rather shocked if Kuminga plays a minute of college basketball,” Evans said.
