A few hours after Mohamed Bamba announced his commitment to Texas on Thursday, the University of Kentucky basketball program officially announced its new signees for the recruiting class of 2017.

Bamba was the final UK recruiting target for the 2017 class, but the Cats had already signed five-star forwards Kevin Knox and Jarred Vanderbilt, as well as four-star guard Jemarl Baker, in the regular signing period that started last month.

Those three players joined early signees Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Quade Green, Nick Richards, Jarred Vanderbilt and PJ Washington, who are all ranked by at least one major recruiting service as five-star prospects.

“To go along with who we have coming back, this group of young people — I’m ecstatic,” Calipari said. “I’m telling you, it’s going to be hard. We will be the youngest team and most inexperienced team in the country. This may be my youngest team ever, but you know what, I love the challenge of it because we have kids that will share, that are going to give it up for each other and that are comfortable in their own skin.

John Calipari, who has yet another No. 1 ranked recruiting class, commented publicly for the first time on Baker, Knox and Vanderbilt on Thursday.

Since Cal came in 2009 we have had the number one or two recruiting class every year.
