Lanier visited Kentucky, and is a player Kentucky wanted.

That said, Jaxson Robinson has always been the priority. Kentucky’s got the best shot at him if (when) backs out of the draft next week.

Wooga Poplar and reclass candidate Will Riley are visiting UK as well.

One of the best scorers in the 2025 class.

The staff will be at U18 USA Basketball Training Camp today.

While it is a dead period (May 22 - June 2), there is a below NCAA bylaw that allows coaches to attend Olympic events.

Some names to watch:

Malachi Moreno
Shelton Henderson

Trey McKenney

Assistant Alvin Brooks and the rest of the Kentucky staff are on their way to see some “Future Cats”
