Two of the very best young high schooler hoopers in the entire country play right here in the Bluegrass State–and they’re both very interested in the University of Kentucky.
ZaKiyah Johnson and Leah Macy, two class of 2025 high school freshmen, were recently named to ESPN’s 2025 HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings Watch List. Johnson will suit up for Sacred Heart Academy this season while Macy will play for Bardstown High School. The two are AAU teammates for Kentucky Premier
Let’s get to know them both a little bit better.
Zakiyah Johnson: 5-11 guard/wing
Johnson has been on Kentucky’s radar for well over a year now.
