Breaking news; Kentucky wildcat win to sign the full team commitment best Star….
With five-star center Jayden Quaintance recently reclassifying to the class of 2024, all eyes have turned to one of the best big men in the class. He also just recently completed an official visit with the Kentucky Wildcats.
The 6-foot-9, 230-pound Quaintance from Word Of God Christian Academy (NC) is ranked as the No. 7 overall recruit via 247 Sports Composite. As if the thought of having him for one year wasn’t exciting enough, Quaintance will actually have to play two years wherever he does go, whether it be college or the G-League.
Jamie Shaw of On3 has been speaking to many people surrounding Quaintance’s recruitment, and here is what his recruitment buzz has been recently.
“Kentucky is the school I am hearing the most with Quaintance,” Shaw says.
Shaw also adds that the Missouri Tigers are still lurking, which is no surprise since this has been viewed as a two-team race between Kentucky and Missouri if Quaintance attends college.
And here’s what Shaw had to say about the G-League.
“Quaintance has also made a trip out to visit the G-League Ignite program,” Shaw says. “One source said the two-year contract that London Johnson and Scoot Henderson signed was discussed. Another source also mentioned that if he does not sign with the G-League out of high school, and goes to college, since he has to do two years after high school graduation they are worth continuing to watch
One of the top players on Kentucky’s board for the 2025 class is five-star guard Jasper Johnson. He is from Kentucky and has a ton of family ties to UK. Other schools like Alabama and North Carolina are in it for Johnson, and it sounds like the Wildcats are trying to make a comeback.
