Shaedon Sharpe will enroll at the University of Kentucky in January and redshirt before returning in 2022-23.
The nation’s consensus No. 1 overall prospect confirmed the news with Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated.
“I’m going to enroll in January,” Sharpe told Sports Illustrated. “I’m going to report down there after Christmas. I won’t play this season though. I’m going to redshirt. I just want to get a head start on college basketball and train with older, bigger, stronger and better players.”
Sharpe committed to Kentucky back in September, choosing the Wildcats over Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma State and the NBA G League Ignite.
