Wildcats Land Top Talent for 2025: 4-Star Guard Acaden Lewis Commits to Kentucky
The Kentucky Wildcats have secured a major win on the recruiting trail, landing a commitment from highly sought-after 4-star guard Acaden Lewis for their 2025 class. The dynamic 6’4″ combo guard from California made his decision public on Saturday, choosing the Wildcats over a host of elite programs, including Duke, Kansas, and UCLA.
Lewis, ranked as one of the top 30 prospects nationally in the 2025 class, is known for his explosive athleticism, court vision, and scoring versatility. He averaged 22.8 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game during his junior year, solidifying his reputation as one of the premier backcourt players in high school basketball. Analysts have praised Lewis for his ability to impact both ends of the floor, calling him a future star at the collegiate level.
“Kentucky felt like home,” Lewis said during his announcement. “The tradition, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to develop my game at the highest level were impossible to pass up.”
Lewis becomes the first commitment for Kentucky’s 2025 class, giving head coach John Calipari a cornerstone talent to build around. With this addition, the Wildcats continue to strengthen their reputation as a destination for top-tier talent.
