WATCH: KSR's 1-on-1 interview with 6-foot-7 Kentucky WBB freshman Clara Silva

Had Clara Silva played high school basketball in the United States, she’d be starting her freshman season at Kentucky as a five-star prospect. But since she hails from Portugal, the 6-foot-7 center was never given an official “ranking”. That being said, Silva might just be the most talented recruit to come through Lexington since Rhyne Howard.

However, due to international competition during the summer (where she was regularly posting double-doubles for her country), Silva arrived on campus later than the rest of her new teammates. She’s still mostly unknown to the Big Blue Nation. We’re here to try and fix that.

KSR’s Katie Hutchison sat down with Silva in the Joe Craft Center earlier this week for a one-on-one interview to talk about following Kenny Brooks to Lexington (Silva was previously committed to Virginia Tech), living in the United States, her expectations in year one with the Wildcats, and so much more. Dive into their conversation below to learn about Kentucky’s newest star in the frontcourt.
