Shaedon Sharpe is no stranger to making jaw-dropping plays, and he added another to his highlight reel on Friday night.

Sharpe, the No. 1 overall player in the 2022 On100 rankings, caught a pass on the baseline in Dream City Christian’s game Friday night before taking one step and throwing down a monster dunk over the top of a defender. The score put Dream City up 29-18.

The 6-foot-5 Sharpe is Kentucky’s second of three commits in the 2022 recruiting class, picking the Wildcats over Oregon, Kansas, Arizona and others in early September. He joins four-star point guard Skyy Clark in Kentucky’s class and is the first No. 1 overall prospect Kentucky has landed since Anthony Davis in 2012. Five-star Chris Livingston (No. 4 overall) committed to the Wildcats a little more than a week after Sharpe did.
