Early in August, 2025 recruit Chris Cenac Jr cut his list of schools down to 12, and Kentucky basketball was one of them. Now, Cenac is planning a visit to Lexington as he works towards a commitment.
Cenac is a 6’10”, 230 lb power forward in the 2025 recruiting class. He’s rated four stars, and ranked as the number 14 overall prospect and the number one center according to 247sports.

On3’s Joe Tipton is reporting that Cenac will be visiting coach Mark Pope and Kentucky on the weekend of September 27th. That’s the same weekend guard Mikel Brown will be in town for a visit. Either one, or both, would be tremendous additions to Pope’s first recruiting class.
A lot of fans questioned whether or not Pope would be able to recruit the kind of talent that former coach John Calipari did. He has already landed top 25 player Malachi Moreno, and is predicted to land five-star guard Jasper Johnson. Getting Cenac too would prove Pope’s doubters wrong.
