Kentucky Basketball has four signees within the top 25 of On3’s final Class of 2023 rankings, plus a fifth at No. 26 for our nation’s best incoming class of talent.

Colorado still has college basketball’s top-ranked freshman in Cody Williams, the small forward from Arizona. Behind Williams in the new update, Isaiah Collier and newly single Ron Holland are ranked second and third, and then it’s three straight Wildcats at fourth, fifth, and sixth. Kentucky goes back-to-back at No. 25 and 26 to complete its new crop of talent in On3’s ranking for their class.

Take a look at the top 30.

Calipari: “I couldn’t be more excited about this class.”

When John Calipari signed his five top-30 prospects in the early signing period last fall, he put out a statement to brag about Kentucky’s incoming freshmen.

“I couldn’t be more excited about this class,” Calipari said. “We have five talented and dynamic players who have the drive and commitment it takes to succeed at Kentucky. They all know this isn’t for everyone, and they have welcomed that challenge and want to be pushed not only by our coaching staff, but by other really good players every day.

“Their potential to be great is there, now it is up to them to embrace this stage and come in every day ready to work. All five of these guys are winners. They’ve won at the highest levels and know how to impact winning in a number of ways. This is a group that the Big Blue Nation is going to want to cheer for.”
