Can Kentucky still land five-star recruit Will Riley after Jaxson Robinson committed?
Jaxson Robinson recently decided to withdraw from the NBA Draft and made a commitment to join the Wildcats, causing a stir in Lexington. His addition to the team’s lineup was significant, but there are concerns about whether it could impact the team’s chances of recruiting another player.
The Wildcats have their eyes set on recruiting Will Riley in 2025, a talented five-star wing player who is currently ranked as the 16th best player in his class. There is speculation that Riley may reclassify to the 2024 class. While the acquisition of Robinson might have affected their pursuit of Riley in case of a reclassification, if he remains in the 2025 class, Coach Pope and his team still stand a good chance.
Riley possesses exceptional skills and would be an outstanding fit in Coach Pope’s system based on the analysis of his gameplay footage.
Riley is scheduled to visit Lexington this week, offering more insight into the Wildcats’ prospects of securing him.
Coach Pope praised Robinson’s addition to the 2024-25 roster, highlighting his remarkable improvement and potential. He emphasized Robinson’s shooting abilities, attacking prowess, defensive skills, and leadership qualities while expressing his excitement to be part of Robinson’s collegiate journey towards Kentucky’s ninth national championship.
