No, Nolan Hickman cannot join this year’s Kentucky team.
But the ‘Cats sure could use him. Rated as one of the top overall point guards in the country, Hickman was the star for Wasatch Academy in his team’s 84-69 win over the famous Oak Hill Academy earlier on Friday. The 6-foot-2 four-star prospect finished with 19 points, seven assists, six rebounds, one steal, and one block for Wasatch, who ran away with the game during the second quarter and into the early stages of the second half.
Hickman shot 7-17 from the floor, 3-9 from beyond the arc, and converted on both of his free-throw attempts.
