Kentucky signee announces decommitment from John Calipari's program
The growing trend of signees, not committed players but ones that have actually signed with a college program, backing off their decisions continues in the SEC as Kentucky signee Nolan Hickman just announced his decommitment from John Calipari’s program.
This decision comes as a surprise as Hickman signed with the Wildcats in November.
The Utah native is ranked as the No. 4 point guard prospect in the country and a top 30 overall prospect nationally in the 2021 recruiting cycle according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
“I got nothing but all love for BBN.. Coach Cal.. and the entire Kentucky coaching staff. Thank you,” Hickman posted announcing his decision to decommit from Kentucky on Friday.
Following this news, Kentucky is down to two high school signees (Daimion Collins and Bryce Hopkins) and two transfers (Oscar Tshiebwe and Kellan Grady) heading into the program this offseason.
Nothin but love????? So why bother with signing up if you can just walk away. Don’t let them out of their commitment and reinstate the one year sit policy. This is beyond bad to just plain stupid. Nothin but love. Get out of here with that stuff.
Once they sign, they should have to stay through one season.
No loyalty these days! Transfer portal is a circus!
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Cal has his flaws, but when it comes to recruiting: In Cal We Trust.
I’ll be glad the day I log on to see a story about Calipari de-committing from the program. We need a coach.
We prefer that Cal stays at UK.
Beating UT or losing to them doesn’t make success at UK. Only tournament performance counts. I assume it is the same in Knoxville.
