Kentucky Basketball is still in the hunt for one of the highest-ranked big men in the class of 2027.
Darius Wabbington, a 6-foot-11 center from Phoenix, Arizona, has cut his list to six schools. Kentucky joins Arizona, Indiana, Louisville, North Carolina, and Texas on his list.
Wabbington is ranked 14th overall in the 2027 class, according to Rivals, and is the highest-ranked center in the class.
Wabbington told Joe Tipton from On3 that he has scheduled three visits this fall with Louisville, Arizona, and Texas. He also told Tipton that relationships with the coaching staff and style of play will be two of the biggest factors in his recruitment.
“I’ll probably just be looking at my relationship with the coaches, and then the style of play. Those are the two main things that I want to see with a school. I really like the five-out style, but I also like playing with two bigs. You know, just bully ball. Where you’re bigger than everybody, and you’re just going to show everybody that you’re bigger than them, and just make them stop it. Those are the two styles I really like to see.”
Wabbington picked up a Kentucky offer in May, and Kentucky will likely look to get him on campus this fall.
Wabbington recently helped lead the USA Basketball U18 team to a silver-medal finish at the Americup, where he averaged about 9 points and 4 rebounds per game.
