Kentucky Wildcats Rise and Fall in Final Rivals Basketball Recruiting Rankings

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

The final Rivals.com high school recruit rankings for 2016 have been released.

As has been the case with the other major rankings, the Kentucky Wildcats have a strong showing among the top 30 prospects. Power forward Bam Adebayo, point guard De'Aaron Fox, shooting guard Malik Monk, forward/wing Wenyen Gabriel and forward/center Sacha Killeya-Jones all finished with five-star rankings by Rivals, making them all consensus five-star prospects among the major recruiting services.

That's also true of center Marques Bolden, who continues to see his stock rise in all of the final rankings.

Here's a look at how all the UK signees and target faired in the final Rivals.com rankings:
