Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope has already extended a scholarship offer to 2025 recruit Nate Ament. He has also gotten to watch him play in person, including a recent outing where the top 15 prospect had a huge game.
Over the weekend, Ament played at the DMV Live with Pope in attendance. The Wildcats coach would see the star recruit put on a show.

Ament averaged 28 points, 14 rebounds, and over 2 blocks per game through four games at the event, but on Friday, he had his biggest. He scored 41 points and had 27 rebounds and 6 blocks in that game, with Pope watching.
The 6’9″ power forward is a top ten player in the 2025 class according to 247sports. Pope will be battling most of the top programs in the country for his services, as he has offers from most of them already.
Ament would be a great fit on the Wildcats offense, and Pope would love to land him as the centerpiece of his 2025 class. Big Blue Nation would love to see him in Lexington as well.
