If you had five-star wing Jason Asemota on your Kentucky basketball recruiting board for 2024, go ahead and take him off. This evening, the 6-foot-8 forward made a surprise commitment to Baylor, the program’s first pledge in the junior class.
Asemota, ranked No. 13 overall in the On3 Consensus, previously cut his list to Memphis, LSU, Arizona State, Stanford, Ohio State, Kansas, Oregon and Baylor. Kentucky reached out to the standout prospect to open the direct contact period in June, but never ramped things up from there.
