Where Kentucky WBB recruits stand in the latest ESPN/HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings update

As we approach closer and closer to summer, recruiting really starts to kick in. Kenny Brooks and Kentucky have been hard at work this offseason, scouting and offering some of the best prospects in girls’ high school basketball (and specifically, the some of the best prospects on various AAU circuits).

If you scroll to the bottom of this article, you can find where every single (known) Kentucky recruit stands in the latest ESPN/HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings update.

We’ve already seen that Kenny Brooks has established a new standard on the court, and that has carried over to the recruiting trail as well. Every single recruit that is on his radar — besides international prospects and Jayden McClain in the 2029 class (no rankings for 2029 yet) — is in the Top 50 of their respective classes.

Point guard commit Maddyn Greenway recently shot up from No. 18 to No. 10, but she has since slipped back down to No. 11. Why? Your guess is as good as ours.

Anyway, feel free to scroll through the full rundown of prospects on Kentucky’s radar to see where they currently stand in the recruiting rankings.
