Kentucky basketball: Jordan Burks commits to Wildcats

Kentucky basketball hasn’t had much success in the transfer portal, but the same can’t be said about adding talented freshmen. The Wildcats picked up a sixth addition to its 2023 class, adding former Ole Miss commit Jordan Burks.

Burks, who visited Kentucky last week, was arguably the best player left in the 2023 recruiting cycle. He’s also one of the best scorers. Burks led the Overtime Elite league in scoring at 27.1 PPG, with a season-high of 42 points. The league featured some of the best high-school players, including projected lottery picks Amen and Ausar Thompson.
