Kyra Elzy is making UK the prime destination for top Kentucky prospects.
On Friday, 2020 Miss Kentucky Basketball Maddie Scherr announced she’d be transferring from Oregon to Kentucky. In October 2021, Elzy secured a commitment from 2022 Miss Kentucky Basketball Amiya Jenkins. Elzy’s hot streak holds historical significance.
Bringing Kentuckians home
A Miss Kentucky Basketball had not committed to UK since Bell County star Maci Morris joined the ‘Cats in 2015. Following this pick-up, Kentucky lost out on multiple highly-touted Kentucky prospects, including Erin Boley (Oregon), Seygan Robins (Louisville/UT Martin) and Brooklynn Miles (Tennessee).
