Mark Pope and the Kentucky basketball team got a big recruiting win last week, landing 2027 center Cherif Millogo. Now, that win is even more impressive. In their most recent update to the rankings, 247Sports has moved him way up the list, making him the No. 15 overall player in the class.
Millogo is a 7'4" center from Burkina Faso who plays his high school ball in California. His length is an obvious advantage, but he is also athletic, and can shoot the ball effectively from outside of the paint, including the three-point line.
Before he signed with the Wildcats, Millogo was considered a top 50 recruit, and ESPN had him as a top ten player. Now, the other services have caught up. On3 also has him as a top 15 player in their rankings as he has the potential
to be one of the best players in the class.
Kentucky has put together a solid class already with Millogo and Ryan Hampton. They also have their sights on No. 2 overall player C.J. Rosser. It's Mark Pope's best recruiting class ever, and keeps getting better.
