Anthony Thompson recruitment update sent waves through the college basketball world. The five-star forward has narrowed his list, and Kentucky made the cut.
Thompson is one of the most explosive players in the 2025 class. He attacks the rim with power. He runs the floor like a guard. His motor never stops. Coaches love his size. Fans love his flair. Analysts rank him among the nation’s top ten.
Now the race gets tighter. Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, and UConn are still in the hunt. Each program brings history. Each offers exposure. But only one will win.
Mark Pope and his staff pushed hard. They’ve shown up at games. Sent personal messages. Made the pitch in person. Kentucky wants him badly. Thompson knows it.
Big Blue Nation follows his every move. They’ve seen what he can bring. Explosive dunks. Tenacious defense. Leadership by example. He could be the face of Kentucky’s next wave.
This decision could shift recruiting momentum. The Wildcats need a headliner. Thompson fits that role. He’s not just a player. He’s a brand.
