2024 four-star point guard Ahmad Nowell had barely wrapped up his final game of Nike EYBL Session I last weekend in Atlanta when a new offer came down the pike — a big one.
John Calipari and the Kentucky basketball staff had been courtside throughout the three-day event, watching the 6-foot-2 prospect out of Philadelphia in action. And then before packing up and heading out early Sunday afternoon, the scholarship was extended. It came after scoring at least 15 points in three of four games, headlined by a 25-point outing to open grassroots season.
