Cason Wallace, Chris Livingston named to 2022 Iverson Classic roster

A pair of future Kentucky Wildcats will grace another All-Star roster before officially arriving in Lexington.

On Monday afternoon, the Iverson Classic unveiled its rosters for the upcoming 2022 event, which will take place on April 30 down in Memphis, TN. Two five-star Wildcats from the class of 2022, Cason Wallace and Chris Livingston, were named to the 23-man roster. Both recruits are considered top 10 prospects out of their class and headline another impressive group of future ‘Cats for head coach John Calipari.

Wallace will suit up for Team Honor while Livingston will play for Team Loyalty. Both prospects were also named 2022 McDonald’s All-Americans. Michigan, Oregon, Duke, and Kentucky will all showcase two players in the event.

Wallace and Livingston will join a loaded field of talented players, including 5-stars such as Nick Smith Jr. (Arkansas), Dariq Whitehead (Duke), Amari Bailey (UCLA), Keyonte George (Baylor), and plenty others. Kentucky’s third commit from the class of 2022, high 4-star guard Skyy Clark, did not make the cut. Clark recently returned from a significant knee injury that sidelined him for several months.

Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Iverson Classic was one of the few high school All-Star events that went as planned. The event showcased Kentucky’s current trio of rookies: TyTy Washington (who won the 3-point shootout), Daimion Collins, and Bryce Hopkins. The Classic is back again this year, as are the rest of the major All-Star events, where UK will be well-represented.
