While Kentucky looks to close out the 2020-21 roster, the UK coaching staff has already laid the groundwork for an impressive 2021 recruiting class.
In fact, they reportedly lead for two top-ten prospects in the class in five-star forward Paolo Banchero and five-star guard Jaden Hardy.
Regarding Banchero, the No. 4 prospect in the Rivals recruiting rankings, Kentucky is holding firm as the perceived favorite.
“Banchero has plans on visiting all of his finalists in the fall before either signing in November or postponing his decision until the spring,” Corey Evans of Rivals.com said in his latest recruiting update for the class of 2021.
