Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope offered a scholarship to 2025 forward Tounde Yessoufou, and then continued to ramp up his work on next year’s class by also offering guard Brayden Burries.
Burries is currently rated five stars by 247sports, who have him rated as the 11th overall player in the class. The combo guard is rated as the third best at his position and the top player from the state of California.

The 6’4″, 200 lb Burries announced the offer from Kentucky on the social platform X. He also has outstanding offers from a number of other schools, including Ohio State, Alabama, Louisville, Duke, and Kansas among many others.
Getting Burries in for a visit to Lexington would ideally be the next move, and they’re sure to impress upon him how well he would fit in the Wildcats offense.
Pope and his staff are working hard on the 2025 class, and landing a combo of Burries and Yessoufou would be a great start to next year’s group.
