Even while he’s in Jamaica for his birthday and honeymoon, Jack Pilgrim brings the scoop.
This morning, our basketball recruiting insider shared this interesting tidbit about a new name on the scene in the 2022 class. A source tells Jack that the Kentucky coaching staff is in constant contact with Hawaiian center Sage Tolentino, who plays for Maryknoll High School in Honolulu. At age 16, Tolentino already stands at 7’1″ and reportedly speaks to UK Associate Head Coach Kenny Payne “daily.” Jack’s source said Auburn is also very interested.
A quick Google search on Tolentino reveals that he is pals with Kai Sotto, the 7’2″ center that visited Kentucky in December before ultimately signing with the G-League.
