4-Star SG Anthony Felesi Planning Kentucky Visit

2026 four-star guard Anthony Felesi has been a name on Kentucky’s recruiting radar for the past year. Now, things are heating up with a potential visit in the works.

The 6-foot-5, 180-pound shooting guard from Utah Prep (Orem, UT) told KSR+ that Kentucky has continued to be in touch recently. UK assistant coach Jason Hart is leading the charge.

“I am planning to visit,” Felesi said. “[I’m] just figuring out dates.”

Felesi hasn’t taken any recent visits. That could change soon with schools like Kentucky, Louisville, USC, Creighton, UCLA, and Murray State, among others, in pursuit.

His Thoughts on Kentucky

Anthony Felesi sat down with KSR+ during the Nike EYBL session in Memphis in May to break down his thoughts on Kentucky. He told KSR+ that Mark Pope first got in touch during his time at BYU.

“It’s a good program. Kentucky is Kentucky,” Felesi said. “They’ve produced a lot of kids who have gone to the NBA. That’s my main goal.”

Felesi is ranked by On3 as the No. 42 overall prospect in the 2026 class. He’s rated as the No. 10 shooting guard and the No. 1 overall prospect from the state of Utah.

“I’ll start taking visits at the start of my senior year, and my commitment will probably be mid-year of my senior year,” Felesi said in May. “My main goal is to get to that second contract in the NBA. It’s about the development part and playing right away once I get into the league.”

Kentucky’s 2026 Visitors

Kentucky has only hosted two players for official visits this summer. That’s likely to change once the current dead period ends.

2026 No. 1-ranked prospect Tyran Stokes was the first to kick things off this summer. The 6-foot-7 forward took an official visit to Kentucky on June 8.

Then, it was four-star guard Tay Kinney who visited. The 6-foot-2 point guard from Overtime Elite (Atlanta, GA), also a Kentucky-native, visited Kentucky on June 24. Kinney has already taken visits to Louisville and Purdue and recently planned trips to Indiana and Texas.
