The Kenny Brooks era of Kentucky women’s basketball is off to a great start, having won their first three games. Off the court, they have begun to make noise too. On Wednesday, they landed their first big recruit in forward Kaelyn Carroll.
Carroll is a 6’2″ forward out of Massachusetts. She is ranked as the number 28 overall player in the 2025 class by 247sports, and is rated five stars. ESPN ranks her at number 15 overall.

Brooks and the Wildcats won out over some other very good schools. She had offers from North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina among others, but decided on Kentucky.
The Wildcats are still in on several of the top players in the 2025 class who haven’t committed yet. Carroll is a terrific start to the class for Brooks and his staff, though. Fans should be excited about the addition, and the future of the program under the new regime.
