2022 five-star guard Shaedon Sharpe is a Kentucky Wildcat, choosing UK over Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma State and the G League Ignite, among offers and interest from dozens of other programs.
The 6-foot-5, 185-pound guard announced his commitment Tuesday evening, a game-changing addition for the program. He joins five-star guard Skyy Clark as Kentucky’s two pledges in the senior class, giving the Wildcats two top-15 prospects in the backcourt for the 2022-23 season.
Why is this commitment so massive for the program? And what does it mean for UK’s recruiting efforts moving forward?
