For Kentucky fans holding out hope for a late addition from 2021 five-star forward Jonathan Kuminga, Rivals recruiting expert Corey Evans has some bad news for you.

In a recruiting update published this week, Evans said the consensus top-five prospect is still expected to (officially) reclassify to the class of 2020, but the professional route remains as the overwhelming favorite.

In fact, Evans said he would be “rather shocked” if the five-star prospect ever suits up at the college level.

“I would be rather shocked if Kuminga plays a minute of college basketball,” Evans said. “Kuminga has not officially said it, but I believe he will make the move into the 2020 class and the G League is where he will spend his year between high school and the NBA beginning in the fall. There were overseas opportunities that Kuminga could have taken, but at this time staying domestic and competing alongside Jalen Green, Daishen Nix and a few others will likely be the route that he takes.”
