Yesterday, Kentucky men’s basketball commit Malachi Moreno was selected as a McDonald’s All-American. This morning, one of his counterparts for the Kentucky women’s basketball team received the same honor.
Kentucky commit Kaelyn Carroll has been named as a McDonald’s All-American.
Carroll is a four-star power forward out of Marion, Massachusetts, and is playing her high school ball at the Tabor Academy. She’ll represent the East in one of the nation’s most high-profile high school basketball all-star games.
She’s a high profile recruit for the Wildcats, as Carroll is ranked as the 18th overall player nationally for the 2025 high school graduating class. She’s also the second-ranked power forward in the country and the top-ranked player out of Massachusetts.
The 6’2″ forward committed to the Wildcats back on November 13 and was Kenny Brooks’ first recruit in the 2025 class.
“I am beyond excited with the addition of KK, Kaelyn Carroll, to our program,” Brooks said at the time. “She exemplifies everything on and off the court that we value. Her shooting ability along with her size and basketball IQ will give her the opportunity to contribute immediately.”
