SOURCE: Jayden Quaintance prioritizing Kentucky following John Calipari's departure
Assuming John Calipari’s prized recruiting class is planning to skip down to Fayetteville as Kentucky’s former head coach takes over at Arkansas? That may not be the case.
Sources tell KSR that 5-star signee Jayden Quaintance, the program’s top-ranked addition for 2024, would like to hear out Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart regarding the school’s coaching hire before making a decision on his future. There is a chance he decides to reopen his recruitment, but the Wildcats will get the first shot at keeping the consensus top-ten prospect who must stay in college two seasons due to draft age restrictions.

Quaintance would like to hear who the program is prioritizing in the coaching search and what their vision would be for him in Lexington should he decide to stay.
As things stand currently, the five-star forward is not expected to end up in Fayetteville with Calipari and his coaching staff, source tells KSR. Other schools and coaches who previously recruited Quaintance to their respective programs would move to the top of the priority list with any potential decommitment.
