4-star, 7-foot C Aaron Bradshaw receives offer from Kentucky
One of the top junior big man prospects just picked up an offer from the ‘Cats.
Aaron Bradshaw, a 7-foot-1, 210-pound four-star class of 2023 center out of Roselle, NJ, announced on Sunday afternoon that he has received a scholarship opportunity from Kentucky. Bradshaw, who is a high school and AAU teammate of five-star Kentucky target DJ Wagner, has been performing at a high level during this weekend’s opening run on the Nike EYBL circuit. He was tabbed as one of Saturday’s top performers for the NJ Scholars, according to On3‘s Joe Tipton.
According to the On3 Consensus, Bradshaw is considered the No. 22 overall junior, the No. 2 overall center, and No. 4 player from the state of New Jersey. He also holds offers from the likes of offers from UCLA, Maryland, Miami, Nebraska, Kansas State, Penn State, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John’s, and Texas A&M, among others.
Bradshaw has said previously that LSU is his dream school, but Kentucky has had his interest for a while now. Wildcat assistant coach Orlando Antigua has been in contact with the seven-footer for months, with Bradshaw telling KSR earlier in the year that he’s hoping to take a visit to UK soon. However, no visit date has been made public.
