Kahlil Whitney is his name and he has played well enough this summer to earn a scholarship offer from the University of Kentucky.
A rising Class of 2019 prospect, Whitney is one of only a few small forward targets on UK’s radar. So let’s get to know him as he enters the picture as a legitimate candidate to join Tyrese Maxey in the Cats’ next great crop of incoming talent.
He’s from Chicago, but now plays in New Jersey.
After one season at Solorio Academy in Chicago, in which he averaged almost 30 points per game as a high school freshman, Whitney’s family packed up and moved to New Jersey to put him in a better position for basketball success.
