This year, Katz released his list of top-15 impact freshmen, and one Kentucky Wildcat made the list.
6-foot-5 shooting guard Tyler Herro came in at No. 5, trailing only Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, Nassir Little, and Romeo Langford.
Highly-touted prospects Quentin Grimes, Bol Bol, Charles Bassey, Darius Garland, and Naz Reid also made the list, among others.
Here’s what Katz had to say about Herro:
“The Wildcats once again have a stellar recruiting class. Herro is the one who stood out during the summer trip to the Bahamas. If he can match his scoring prowess during the regular season, then the expectations for Kentucky could be met.
