The Kentucky Wildcats have set their sights on a rising star in the class of 2025. On Tuesday, Chris Cenac Jr. announced to the Wildcats, adding to his rapidly growing list of scholarship opportunities.
Cenac, a standout power forward from Isidore Newman School in Louisiana, is currently showcasing his talents at the NBPA Top 100 Camp. Kentucky’s coaching staff, including head coach Mark Pope, have been actively scouting recruits at the event, and it seems they have been particularly impressed by Cenac’s performance.
Standing 6-foot-10 and weighing 210 pounds, Cenac has been making waves on the AAU circuit, playing for Young Game Changers. He boasts an impressive stat line, averaging 19 points, 11 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game. His prowess on the court has earned him high rankings across major recruiting platforms: sixth overall by On3, 36th by ESPN, and 47th by 247 Sports.
The Wildcats’ interest is just the latest in a series of offers for Cenac, who is already being courted by several high-profile programs. His scholarship offer list includes powerhouses like the Kansas Jayhawks, Baylor Bears, Louisville Cardinals, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas Longhorns, Auburn Tigers, and Alabama Crimson Tide.
As one of the most sought-after recruits in his class, Cenac’s decision-making process will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. Kentucky’s recruitment efforts signal their intent to bolster their future rosters with top-tier talent, and Cenac could be a key addition to their plans.
