Kentucky overtakes Arizona for nation’s No. 1 recruiting class

When 247Sports recalibrated its 2019 recruiting rankings this week, the Arizona Wildcats made a slight jump into the nation’s No. 1 spot.

But that title was short-lived.

Four-star forward Johnny Juzang committed to Kentucky on Friday, giving UK the top class in the country, per 247Sports’ metrics. Kentucky was previously ranked No. 3.

The 6-foot-6 Juzang is the No. 32 player in the 2019 class, according to 247Sports composite rankings. He joins a Kentucky class that consists of five-star forwards Kahlil Whitney and Keion Brooks, five-star combo guard Tyrese Maxey, and four-star forward Dontaie Allen.
