Aaron Bradshaw gave Kentucky fans something extra to celebrate ahead of Big Blue Madness. The 5-star center committed to play for John Calipari’s Wildcats on Friday.
Out of New Jersey, the 7-foot, 210-pound Bradshaw is the No. 2 center and No. 6 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2023 on the 247Sports Composite.
At one time, Bradshaw planned to commit this summer but delayed the decision. In May, Bradshaw named Kentucky, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Maryland, Michigan, UCLA and the G-League as his final 7 options. Bradshaw has picked up 16 scholarship offers in his recruitment.
Calipari has put together a loaded 2023 class. Bradshaw is the third 5-star pledge, joining Justin Edwards and Robert Dillingham. UK’s fourth commitment in the class is 4-star CG Reed Sheppard, rated No. 29 overall in the country.
