Kentucky staying consistent with 5-star wing KJ Evans following offer

Kwame “KJ” Evans Jr. was one of several big-name recruits who came to Lexington during the fall and left with a scholarship offer from Kentucky. That offer came back on Nov. 6, and Evans has continued to hear from the Wildcat coaching staff ever since.

Evans is a five-star recruit from the class of 2023, ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the On3 Consensus. Clocking in at 6-foot-8, 190 pounds, the junior at Montverde Academy (FL) is a bundle of unlimited basketball potential. Evans is participating in the HoopHall Classic up in Springfield, MA, which is taking place this weekend and features the biggest names in the country.
