Shaedon Sharpe will remain in NBA Draft, won't return to Kentucky


It's official. Former No. 1 overall basketball recruit will leave Kentucky without ever having played for the Wildcats. A report surfaced in late January that Sharpe would be eligible for this summer's 2022 NBA Draft, where most mock drafts project him as a top-10 pick, first casting doubt on whether Sharpe would ever play for Kentucky.
