Kentucky Basketball Freshman Flashback: Dwight Anderson

Another summer in Lexington, another top-ranked recruiting class comes in. Kentucky has had its share of star freshmen. But before 2016… before Towns, Davis and Wall… before even Rex Chapman, there was Dwight Anderson.

A 6-3 guard from Dayton, OH, Dwight Anderson led his high school team to a state championship as a sophomore. As a senior, he averaged an insane stat line of 38 points/14 rebounds/11 assists and finished high school as the top-ranked prep player. He chose to attend the University of Kentucky, college basketball’s reigning champion.
