Billy Richmond, a four-star recruit from Camden, New Jersey, has reopened his commitment following the news that John Calipari would be leaving the Kentucky basketball program.
Richmond, being from Camden, played high school basketball with Kentucky’s Aaron Bradshaw, who entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, April 8, and committed to Ohio State and D.J. Wagner, who also entered the transfer portal.
Richmond was wanted by Alabama, LSU, Memphis and California, but ultimately decided to follow the Camden roots down to Lexington.
With Calipari leaving for Arkansas and Kentucky hiring Mark Pope to be the next head coach of the program, Richmond opted to decommit and reopen his recruitment.
