Ugonna Kingsley arrives on campus

The Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball roster for the 2022-23 season is now set after the final player arrived on campus this week.

Just about a month ago the Cats added a commitment from Ugonna Kingsley Onyenso, a 7-foot center from Nigeria, and the Kentucky basketball program welcomed him to Lexington earlier today.

“Ugonna has unbelievable natural athleticism and great instincts for a young player,” John Calipari said after Kingsley’s commitment. “He is going to be able to defend at the rim and is a terrific finisher.

“Ugonna has only been in the United States since January but has been fully immersed in basketball for several years with his experience at the NBA Academy in Africa.
