Despite the 2024-25 season quickly approaching, Kenny Brooks is still looking toward the future. Right before the recruiting dead period, Brooks offered De’Andra Minor, the No. 9 overall prospect in the 2027 class.

She holds offers from the likes of Oklahoma, Clemson and Tennessee, among others.

Obviously, it’s still very, very early in her recruitment, but the Sooners have to be among the favorites considering they’re the home-state team in this recruitment. The 6-foot guard has already asserted herself as one of the best guards in her respective class, so it’s good that Kentucky is in on this recruitment early.
