Kentucky extended three offers to frontcourt prospects in the class of 2022, with all three signing with other programs to open the early signing period. Five-star centers Dereck Lively II and Kyle Filipowski chose Duke, while five-star center Adem Bona signed with UCLA.
Looking at the rest of the board, the cupboard was relatively bare. Out of the entire 2022 On3 Consensus Rankings, only three frontcourt players remain in the top 100, with only one being a top-15 prospect — Yohan Traore (No. 14), Eric Dailey (No. 37) and Sadraque Nganga (No. 39).
Kentucky keeps its distance
With Kentucky in need of an instant-impact big for next season, neither Dailey nor Nganga have been seen as must-have targets for the Wildcats.
