Kentucky missing on Adem Bona is the latest in what has become a troubling trend for Kentucky on the recruiting trail.
Bona, a top 20 prospect in the Class of 2022, chose UCLA over Kentucky yesterday after long being viewed as a heavy Kentucky lean. When Kentucky missed on Dereck Lively earlier this year, Bona was viewed as a prospect who would make up for it.
Now, as Kentucky has missed on both and with seemingly no other frontcourt targets in the class, Kentucky will have to hope for a returner from this year’s team or find someone in the transfer portal.
