Top-40 senior Billy Richmond committed to Kentucky on Thursday, giving John Calipari his fifth ESPN 100 prospect in the 2024 class.
Richmond chose the Wildcats over Memphis, where his father played for Calipari, although Alabama and LSU were also in Richmond's final four.
"I have family ties," Richmond told ESPN. "My former teammates are there, D.J. Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw. I also played with [Kentucky signee] Boogie Fland when we were younger for the NY Gauchos. I have been to their campus many times and I know where everything is.
