A high-ceiling prospect from Africa is enrolling in college a year earlier than initially anticipated.
Ugonna Kingsley, the No. 22 player in the 2023 recruiting clas,s is reclassifying into the 2022 class, according to Andrew Slater. Oklahoma State was Kingsley’s first visit late last month. Since, he has visited Kentucky and will visit Oklahoma this weekend before making a college decision.
Kentucky seems to be the heavy favorite to land Kingsley’s services, with analysts from 247Sports and On3 predicting he ends up in Lexington.
Kingsley was a late riser in the 2023 class after arriving in the United States from the NBA Academy Africa in Senegal.
