Kentucky beats out UConn, Duke for elite PG in Class of 2025


Kentucky beats out UConn, Duke for elite PG in Class of 2025

One of the top point guards in the Class of 2025 is heading to Lexington to play for Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats.

Acaden Lewis is the player in question, a 6-2 lefty with an impressive control of the offense at his young age. Lewis's jump shot has been a bit off and on, but he can still be a threat to score from range and has shown an ability to be an elite facilitator.

That's why top schools such as Duke, UConn and North Carolina all wanted Lewis, who is rated as a 4-star prospect. Instead, the PG out of Washington DC is heading to Kentucky.

Lewis is Kentucky's 3rd commitment of the 2025 cycle, joining 5-star CG Jasper Johnson and 4-star Center Malachi Moreno. He'll need to bulk up some to compete against SEC competition, sitting at 170 pounds according to 247Sports.

Kentucky's 2024 season starts in just a few days, with the Wildcats opening the year against Wright State on Monday. It's a brand-new year with a brand-new roster, Wildcats fans - soon we'll see what Pope's crew is made of.
