Onyenso is the fourth first-year player to sign with the Wildcats for the upcoming season, joining Chris Livingston, Adou Thiero and Cason Wallace. The five-star center finished ranked No. 18 overall and No. 3 among centers in the final 2022 On3 Player Rankings.

“I am proud to join the Kentucky basketball family and I can’t wait to help work for a national championship,” Onyenso said. “I’m so comfortable with Coach Cal and the staff and I know they will help me reach my goals as long as I work hard and come to play every day. I am excited for their positionless style of play and I know I’m going to continue to get better because I’ll be pushed every day in practice with players who have the same drive that I do.”

Welcome home, Ugonna.
