WATCH: The moment Karter Knox became a Kentucky Wildcat
Karter Knox is a Cat, choosing Kentucky over Louisville, South Florida and Overtime Elite on Saturday at halftime of his game in the OTE playoffs.
The nation’s highest-rated uncommitted player in the 2024 class became the program’s sixth pledge, joining five-stars Jayden Quaintance and Boogie Fland, along with four-stars Billy Richmond, Somto Cyril and Travis Perry.
Knox is the brother of former Kentucky standout Kevin Knox, who suited up for the Wildcats during the 2017-18 season.
“Karter is an undeniable talent and has emerged as one of the leaders on his team,” said Damien Wilkins, OTE GM and Head of Basketball. “I can’t wait to see the impact he makes at Kentucky as we’ve already seen so much growth and development from him during his time at OTE.”
Why Kentucky? Let him tell you himself, highlighting the team’s NBA success and his desire to play in the league just like his brother.
“Coach Calipari, he sent a lot of people to the league, and I want to be a pro,” Knox said during his announcement. “He told me he’s gonna make me a pro. I’m ready to hoop and win a national championship.”

Welcome to the family, Mr. Knox. Again.
