Kentucky basketball lands commitment from 5-star SG BJ Boston Jr.

One of the top 10 recruits in the class of 2020 has committed to John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats.

Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, California) guard BJ Boston Jr. committed to UK on Saturday. The 6-6, 175-pounder is rated the No. 2 shooting guard, No. 6 California product and No. 10 prospect overall in the class of 2020 on the 247Sports Composite. In May, Boston named a final four of Kentucky, Auburn, Duke and Florida. He has 30 scholarship offers at this time.

He is the first commit in Kentucky’s 2020 class, but already gives UK the top class in the SEC in the Composite rankings.

Boston’s recruiter, Joel Justus, shared his excitement with a gif:

BREAKING: BJ Boston has committed to John Calipari and Kentucky, a source told @Stockrisers. @TiptonEdits on it as well.

Spoke with his father this past week, got everything out of the way and is now focused on getting better.
