Shaedon Sharpe, the No. 1 overall prospect in the Class of 2022 according to ESPN.com, may enroll at Kentucky at mid-year, a source close to Sharpe confirmed.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard would redshirt and practice with the Wildcats but would not play in games until the 2022-23 season.
“I can definitely say he’s ready to play,” Dream City Christian coach Kyle Weaver told ZAGSBLOG of Sharpe’s potential.
The news was first reported by 247Sports.com.
Sharpe, who runs with the UPLAY Canada AAU program, last month chose the Wildcats over Arizona, Oklahoma State and the NBA G League.
“Shaedon is as efficient of a scoring guard as I’ve ever seen,” Weaver said then. “He doesn’t need a bunch of dribbles nor does he need a bunch of shots. He consistently had 25 points a game for us last year on about 13 shots. His ability to create and score with limited space is one of his best attributes. He can rise up over any defender with minimal space. His athleticism puts him on a whole another spectrum because he’s able to finish on anyone. He dunked on a 7 footer this year.
“His upside is very high because he is just hitting his true potential now I truly believe. The sky is truly the limit for Shaedon Sharpe!”
