2024 five-star wing Naas Cunningham announced an offer from Kentucky just three weeks ago — January 18, to be exact. Fast forward to February 9, and the Wildcats are no longer being considered in his recruitment.
A surprise? Not exactly, as a committable offer was never officially on the table, sources tell KSR. Exploratory conversations and potential interest, sure, but not to the point of a scholarship. It’s the same situation that unfolded with four-star junior Trentyn Flowers just a few weeks before Cunningham’s announced offer — conversations begin, a scholarship is announced and Kentucky is left out of a list cut shortly after.
