2024 PF Derik Queen establishing himself early on in recruiting process

One of the top high school sophomore hoopers in the country is someone that might be of interest to Kentucky down the road. Derik Queen, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound power forward who plays for Montverde Academy, is quickly establishing himself as one of the premier recruits of the future.

Queen already holds scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Arizona State, Auburn, DePaul, Georgetown, Indiana, LSU, Maryland, Syracuse, and Virginia Tech. Remember, he’s just a sophomore, but his talent is undeniable, and college coaches are trying to get in on him early before he truly blows up in the next year or two.
