On Tuesday, the Wildcats offered Paolo Banchero a scholarship, he announced on Twitter.

The 6-9, 235-pound Banchero plays for O'Dea High School in Seattle (WA). He’s currently ranked No. 4 overall in 2021 by Rivals and No. 6 by both 247 Sports and ESPN.
Banchero won MVP honors at last week’s NBA Players Association Top 100 camp in Charlottesville (VA), where Kentucky had several coaches in attendance.
