Rob Dillingham signs with Kentucky Wildcats

On3 Consensus five-star recruit Robert Dillingham has made it official, signing his National Letter of Intent to Kentucky on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-2 scoring guard playing at Atlanta (Ga.) Overtime Elite committed to the Wildcats in June. Dillingham originally committed to the NC State Wolfpack in December of last year before reopening in March. He also considered Auburn, Louisville, USC, and others before landing at UK.

The Wildcats are also the favorite to land five-star DJ Wagner, Bradshaw’s high school and travel ball teammate.

Dillingham ranks as the No. 8 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies.

Scouting Summary

It’s the buckets. Dillingham has a microwave ability that has been unmatched, to this point, by any of his classmates. While the 6-foot-3 guard is an average athlete and has average size and length for a shooting guard, it is his craft and his confidence that allows him to get hot. Dillingham can manufacture space off the bounce and get his shot off with the slightest of room. He is a below-average defender. While it is all centered around skill, there is an electric nature to his game. He can get hot in the blink of an eye and his next shot is always the best shot. Dillingham will need strength, and with that may come more explosion. – On3’s Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst
