Kentuckys Top Point Guard Target: Rob Wright III

Kentucky is in the running to land top point guard Rob Wright III from BYU. Wright, a six-foot-one guard, is ranked as high as number six overall and number one at his position. Hes got two years of eligibility left and plans to visit Lexington on Monday.

In his only season at BYU, Wright started all thirty-five games, averaging eighteen point one points, four point six assists, and three point five rebounds per game. He shot nearly forty-seven percent from the field, forty-one percent from deep, and drained eighty-two percent of his free throws. This earned him third-team All-Big Twelve honors.

Wright previously played at Baylor, averaging eleven point five points and four point two assists across thirty-one games. He was a top recruit in high school, ranking number twenty-eight overall and number two point guard in the class of 2024.

Kentucky is pushing hard for Wright amid a major roster shakeup, with seven players already out via the portal. The Wildcats had a twenty-two and fourteen season, going ten and eight in the SEC before bowing out in the NCAA second round.

If Wright commits, he could transform Kentuckys backcourt. Keep an eye on his visit, it might seal the deal for Big Blue Nation.
