Kentucky has landed a commitment from the nation’s No. 1 overall recruit, as five-star guard Shaedon Sharpe announced his pledge to John Calipari and the UK basketball program Tuesday evening.
Sharpe chose the Wildcats over Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma State and the G League Ignite. He also held previous offers from Alabama, Arizona State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and USC, among others.
The Ontario native – he now plays for Dream City Christian (AZ) – took an official visit to Kentucky on June 18, followed by another trip to Lexington with his parents starting August 30.
