The Kentucky Wildcats reportedly have interest in Franck Kepnang, a five-star, 6-10 center in the Class of 2021,
They haven’t quite offered him anything and have no commits yet in 2021, but Kepnang is now someone to keep track of in the coming months based on what Corey Evans of Rivals.com is reporting:
“The 7-footer is a physical presence to the nth degree and he knows exactly what he does best. While he did hoist up a perimeter jumper that is a bit out of his range, it was more about dominating his region around the basket. A two-handed rebounder and finisher, Kepnang is super-efficient off of the drop-off pass and on the weakside putback.... Kentucky is the latest to enter the recruitment of the PSA Cardinals’ product.”
If the PSA Cardinals sound familiar, it’s where former Wildcat Quade Green played on the AAU circuit, so there’s already a slight connection there.
Kepnang is already in elite territory as a five-star recruit at 247 Sports Composite, which measures all of the recruiting services. The Pennsylvania-native has already drawn interest from Syracuse, UCLA, Pittsburgh, Georgia and Vanderbilt. Kentucky would be the first big-time basketball program to get in the race for the talented big man.

Interesting that Syracuse, and especially UCLA, are not considered "big time programs".
We sure could use a man of his talents!
