4-Star Recruit Acaden Lewis Decommits from Kentucky

Acaden Lewis, a highly regarded four-star guard from Washington, D.C., has officially decommitted from the University of Kentucky's basketball program, citing a need to focus on his future. Lewis, who originally committed to Kentucky over other schools like Duke and UConn, expressed his gratitude to Coach Mark Pope and the staff while emphasizing that his decision was not a reflection of any negative feelings towards the program. His departure creates a significant gap in Kentucky's 2025 recruiting class, which still includes five-star prospects Jasper Johnson and Malachi Moreno. With Lewis reopening his recruitment, Kentucky is expected to explore other options for their backcourt, either through high school recruits or the transfer portal. Lewis is now among the most sought-after uncommitted guards nationally, following his impressive high school career. Kentucky's recent additions from the transfer portal and its remaining recruits will shape the team's future roster as they adapt to this change.
