Where UK recruits stand in new ESPN recruiting rankings

The 2019 recruiting cycle is winding down with spring almost here, so ESPN updated their Class of 2019 rankings.

As usual, it includes a host of Kentucky commitments and targets near the top. Five-star guard Anthony Edwards checked in at No. 5, as he’s wrapping up his official visit to Lexington, but there’s a lot of work to be done to overcome the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida State Seminoles.

Right behind him is five-star forward Jaden McDaniels, who is one of the last elite recruits Kentucky has a very legitimate shot with, though the hometown Washington Huskies are a major threat to keep him from making it to Lexington.
