Five-star point guard Ashton Hagans commits to UK, and he could bolster Cats’ backcourt right away | Lexington Herald Leader

That didn’t take long.

Less than two weeks after receiving a scholarship offer from the University of Kentucky – and just one day after another highly touted point guard said he was leaving UK for the NBA – five-star recruit Ashton Hagans announced Tuesday that he has committed to the Wildcats.

Hagans – a 6-foot-4 prospect from Covington, Ga. – is currently ranked by 247Sports as the No. 1 point guard and No. 6 overall prospect in the class of 2019, but he’s widely expected to reclassify to 2018 this summer and play college basketball next season.
