Kentucky Eyes Top Guard Chase Lumpkin | Kentucky Wildcats Basketball News

Kentucky’s basketball program is on the verge of a major recruiting coup as they target top-four-star guard Chase Lumpkin, a six-foot-three combo guard from Georgia with elite upside. Already locked in for Ryan Hampton, Kentucky now eyes Lumpkin — ranked among the nation’s top 30 for his class — who’s whittled his list down to just six schools, including Kentucky, Louisville, Alabama, Michigan, Arkansas, and USC. Known for his scoring (averaging over 17 points on the EYBL), playmaking, and defensive versatility, Lumpkin’s six-foot-eight wingspan adds rebounding value despite room to grow as a shooter. Scouts see him as a high-ceiling prospect poised to climb even higher, making him a perfect fit for Kentucky’s 2027 roster-building push. The Wildcats are clearly in the driver’s seat — and this could be their biggest win yet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
