Kentucky, Alabama among November 2023 SEC basketball recruiting winners

Kentucky Wildcats

November Commits:

  • 5-star C Jayden Quaintance
  • 4-star PG Travis Perry

We begin with Kentucky, as the Wildcats were the lone SEC basketball program to land two commitments during the month of November 2023. Each of those would come via their 2024 class, with the two headlined by one of the nation’s premier prospects of the cycle regardless of position.

The highest-rated commit in Kentucky’s 2024 class, which also ranks as the best in the SEC, that commitment would come from Jayden Quaintance, who is rated as a five-star center out of Word of God Christian Academy in North Carolina. Quaintance is also rated as a Top 10 player nationally in the 2024 class, as well as the top player in the state of North Carolina.

Kentucky’s second commitment was also the fourth of their 2024 class in the form of Travis Perry. Perry is rated as the top player in the state of Kentucky for the 2024 cycle, where he is a four-star point guard out of in-state Lyon County High School.
