LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Kentucky basketball team could be moving closer to another 2019 commitment.
Following a weekend official visit to Lexington, five-star forward Kahlil Whitney included the Wildcats on his list of four schools he is still considering along with Georgetown, Illinois and Oregon. Whitney cut Louisville, Miami, Florida State and SMU from his previously released top-eight list.
The 247Sports Composite ranks Whitney as the No. 19 recruit in the class of 2019 and No. 5 small forward. He would be an obvious replacement for former UK commit DJ Jeffries in the Wildcats' 2019 class, ranking five spots ahead of Jeffries in the 247Sports Composite small forward position ranking.
