Former Top HS Prospect Shaedon Sharpe Passes No. 1 Mantle to Dereck Lively

Last week when Shaedon Sharpe told Sports Illustrated that he would skip his senior season and enroll at Kentucky in January, not only did it leave a void in the Wildcats’ stellar class it also left a void at the top of the 2022 class as a whole.

Sharpe plans to redshirt for Kentucky for the second semester, but left the possibility open of him playing this season, saying, “I’ll do whatever the team needs.”

The 6’5” shooting guard was widely regarded as the No. 1 senior in the country after he followed up a dominant junior season with an even more dominant showing this summer.
