Kentucky still isn’t recruiting the high school ranks. For a while, Kentucky has long been in the mix for one of the top guards in the class of 2022, Scoota Henderson, out of Georgia. Henderson is ranked the No. 14 overall player in the class of 2022 by 247 Sports.
According to Ben Roberts, Kentucky assistant Bruiser Flint has been on the recruiting trail for Henderson, and Henderson has said that a re-class into 2021 is a possibility, but for now is not likely.
Kentucky has reached out to Michigan State transfer Rocket Watts, according to Jake Weingarten.
Watts averaged 7.7 points per game this season after a breakout freshman season in 2019-20. Watts is an athletic guard, but the only downside is that he is not a very good shooter, shooting 28% from three two seasons ago, and dropping down to 25% from three last season. He also chipped in 2.7 assists vs. 1.6 turnovers in 22.6 minutes per game.
This is likely Kentucky just doing due diligence and keeping tabs on all of its options in the transfer portal. They’ve also recently reached out to Illinois guard Adam Miller and UNLV guard Bryce Hamilton.

How can a guard who shoots 25% from the field be ranked as the 14th best player in the class????
Really. How?

I believe these ranking are based on height, reach and athleticism. They definitely are not based on skill.

The transfer, Watts, is the 25% 3 pt. shooter. It doesn't say what Scoota is.
