Five-star center Jayden Quaintance, ranked eighth overall on the 247Sports composite list of class of 2024 high school men's basketball players, has requested his release from his letter of intent to Kentucky.
Quaintance's father revealed the news to 247Sports Director of Basketball Eric Bossi.
The request comes in the wake of ex-Kentucky head coach John Calipari leading the Wildcats for Arkansas. Per Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports, "the expectation is for Quaintance to follow Calipari to Fayetteville and commit to the Razorbacks."
