Kentucky Reaches Out to 7-Foot-2 Center Cherif Millogo

Kentucky basketball is continuing to make inroads in the 2027 class. Now, they’re reaching out to stock-rising big man Cheriff Millogo.

The 7-foot-2, 210-pound center from Cambridge Arts, Technology and Science (Braintree, MA) told KSR+ that he heard from the staff at Kentucky recently. He burst onto the scene with a performance in the NEPSAC Showcase in late June.

Millogo has blown up on the recruiting trail recently. He just added offers from Alabama and Georgia following his showcase performance.
