Mark Pope and the Kentucky coaching staff have extended scholarship offers to ten of the top 20 players in the 2026 high school recruiting class while engaging in early conversations with a number of others.

On3 released its latest player rankings for 2026 on Monday, led by UK target and Louisville native Tyran Stokes at No. 1. He’s joined by Brandon McCoy Jr. at No. 3, Caleb Holt at No. 4, Tajh Ariza at No. 5, Anthony Thompson at No. 6, Miikka Muurinen at No. 7, Jordan Smith Jr. at No. 8, Ikenna Alozie at No. 11, Jason Crowe Jr. at No. 13 and Tay Kinney at No. 20 among those with offers in hand.

Christian Collins (No. 2), Alex Constanza (No. 16), Deron Rippey Jr. (No. 18), Davion Adkins (No. 22), Billy White (No. 33), Anthony Felesi (No. 34), Adam Oumiddoch (No. 36), Austin Goosby (No. 46) and Luca Foster (No. 48) are among the other targets with consistent Kentucky contact up to this point in the ’26 cycle.

Needless to say, the Wildcats are casting a wide net with 19 players (and counting) on the recruiting board.
