Livingston is the Wildcats’ third commitment of the 2022 class. Kentucky has also landed commitments from five-star Shaedon Sharpe and four-star Skyy Clark. Sharpe is the no. 1 overall prospect in the On3 100 rankings, while Clark is the no. 21 overall prospect.

Scouting Report on Chris Livingston

On3’s Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton had this to say about Livingston:

“Livingston is blessed with an ideal physical build for a wing/small forward. He has broad shoulders, strong hips and lower body, and good arm length. Can make three’s in bunches, and has steadily improved in that area, and is a finisher in traffic. Can rip the ball off the glass, push and make a play with the pass. Attacks the rim with a physical mindset. Comfortable with the ball in space. Can continue to improve off the bounce against strong defenders. The ability to guard multiple positions makes him a worthy team defender.”
