In what had become a big-time recruiting battle in the Bluegrass state, the Kentucky Wildcats missed out on in-state star Cristian Conyer, who just committed to the Tennessee Volunteers. He announced the news Sunday at a ceremony.
Prior to the decision, Conyer held additional offers from the Oregon Ducks, Louisville Cardinals, Purdue Boilermakers and Cincinnati Bearcats among others.
Conyer, a 6-foot-1 and 170-pound athlete out of Bowling Green (South Warren High), was a priority recruit for the Cats in the 2023 class.
