Rob Dillingham to make OTE debut Friday on Amazon Prime
Kentucky signee Rob Dillingham will make his debut with Overtime Elite on Friday evening, with the game broadcast live on Amazon Prime.
The 6-foot-2 guard officially joined the OTE program last week, making the move from Donda Academy (CA) for his final year of high school. He’ll be playing for the Cold Hearts, one of six teams within the organization. Dillingham and his new squad are set to take the floor vs. the YNG Dreamerz on Friday at 7 p.m. ET.
The five-star standout is set to team up with Naasir Cunningham, Trey Parker, Jayden Williams and Tyler Smith, among other high-profile prospects. They’ll be taking on the likes of Kanaan Carlyle, Jazian Gortman, Jalen Lewis, Bryson Warren and Alexandre Sarr — brother of former Kentucky center Olivier Sarr.
Dillingham previously played with the Blue Checks on OTE’s Opening Night and went viral after scoring 36 points to go with five rebounds, four steals and three assists.
“We are excited to recruit Rob Dillingham to our league,” says Tim Fuller, VP, Recruiting and Player Personnel, Overtime Elite. “He brings an elite knack for scoring and an infectious passion for the game. His shiftiness and incredible speed with the ball make him slithery agile with the ball in his hands.”
The future Wildcat made his decision public on Nov. 3, a move he says will allow him to take his game to the “next level.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to join OTE,” Dillingham said in a statement. “The team and resources they offer are amazing and this is an incredible opportunity to continue to develop my game and take it to the next level, while competing against elite talent.”
The 6-foot-2, 165-pound prospect is rated as the No. 8 overall recruit and No. 2 combo guard in the 2023 On3 Consensus. He previously committed to Kentucky back on June 24.
Dillingham officially signed with Kentucky to open the early signing period, one of three players to put pen to paper on Wednesday. He joined Reed Sheppard and Justin Edwards to get things rolling.
UK’s other pledge, Aaron Bradshaw, is also set to sign with the program during the early signing period, which ends on Nov. 16. Uncommitted five-star guard DJ Wagner is also on the cusp of announcing his final decision, which is expected to come before the end of the signing period, as well. Kentucky is the overwhelming favorite to land his commitment.
Until then, you’ll get to see Dillingham make his OTE debut Friday evening, live on Amazon Prime.
