Kentucky is one of the best basketball programs in the country and head coach John Calipari is a Hall of Famer.
So it's never a surprise when the school lands elite talent.
That is what happened on Monday when forward Jordan Burks, the sixth ranked prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, announced he will take his talents to Kentucky.
Calipari reacted to the addition on social media, saying what the forward from Hillcrest Prep in Arizona will bring to the team.
"Jordan has good size and has the ability to be a prolific scorer. His length allows him to play multiple positions,
be dynamic in the open court, rebound at both ends and he can put it on the floor and score in a variety of ways.
Jordan has challenged himself against the best of the best and wanted to continue to be pushed at the next level. I really love his toughness and his upside is tremendous,
and that his dream since he was young was to play at Kentucky! I’m looking forward to getting in the gym and helping him take his game to new levels."
Kentucky already has the nation's top-rated signing class and only got richer on Tuesday.
