LEXINGTON - For the first time since 2015, Kentucky basketball has landed the No. 1-ranked recruit in the country.
Canadian guard Shaedon Sharpe, the No. 1-ranked prospect in the high school class of 2022 according to Rivals and ESPN, committed to Kentucky Tuesday over finalists Arizona, Oklahoma State, Kansas and the NBA G League.
If Sharpe retains his No. 1 spot in the Rivals and ESPN rankings through the end of the 2022 cycle, he would be the first prospect ranked as the top play in the class by any of the major services to sign with Kentucky since Skal Labissiere in 2015.
