Where UK recruits stand in new USA Today Chosen 25 rankings

2020 Kentucky target Sharife Cooper saw a major lift in his ranking in the newly released Chosen 25 from USA Today.

Cooper is now ranked as the No. 1 overall player on the that list features the top high school basketball players in the class of 2020. Jason Jordan and other USA staff writers comprised the list shortly after the first stop on the Nike EYBL tour.

That’s why these rankings tend to look different than what you see in the other big recruiting services.
