While Kentucky only currently has one prospect committed to their current 2022 class, it is now time to multitask as 2023 prospects can now be contacted.

The class will be the second recruited by John Calipari’s new look staff that includes Orlando Antigua, who is in his second stint as a UK assistant, and Ron “Chin” Coleman, who followed Antigua from Illinois to Lexington, and the third with Jai Lucas serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator.

It will also be the second class Kentucky competes with former assistant Joel Justus, who is now at Arizona State and has offered 2023 Commonwealth standout and son of UK legend Jeff Sheppard, Reed Sheppard, who has been in contact with Antigua.

Among the targets for UK include the class’s top-ranked player Dajuan Wagner Jr. (pictured above), who is the son of Memphis/Calipari product Dajuan Wagner Sr.
