Kentucky basketball makes offer to 2025 recruit Darryn Peterson

Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope has re-offered 2025 recruit Darryn Peterson.

Mark Pope is still working on a roster for the 2024-25 season for Kentucky basketball. However, he is also hard at work on the 2025 recruiting class. He has contacted top overall player A.J. Dybansta, and is in the running for Will Riley. Now, he has also made an offer to the third overall player in the class in Darryn Peterson.

Peterson in a five-star shooting guard out of Huntington Prep in West Virginia. He has good size at 6’6″ and nearly 200 pounds, and is the top shooting guard in the class.

Peterson has offers from a lot of the top programs, including North Carolina, Kansas, Ohio State, and others. Peterson’s father has previously said that Kentucky was his son’s dream school as a kid. Whether or not that will factor in now is unknown.

The biggest question about Mark Pope’s hiring was if he would be able to recruit top players. The answer to that won’t be known for a while, but it’s good to know that he’s working hard at it.

Five star 2025 recruit Darryn Peterson to visit Kentucky

Five-star 2025 recruit Darryn Peterson will visit the Kentucky Wildcats on March 6th.

The 2024 Kentucky Wildcats basketball recruiting class is almost finalized, so the 2025 class becomes a bigger focus for fans. Coach John Calipari is known for his ability to bring in top players, and one of next year’s highest rated players, Darryn Peterson, is vising Lexington soon.

Peterson is currently a top five player in the 2025 class. The 6’5″ 195 lb shooting guard is from Huntington, West Virginia, and will make the trip down I-64 to Lexington on March 6th.

There are a number of top programs looking to bring Peterson onto their teams. He named his top eight in January, and Kansas, North Carolina and Michigan among others were there alongside Kentucky. The Jayhawks are the early favorites to land him, but Calipari and the Wildcats will have their chance to sway him.

If Kentucky can land the five-star guard, he would join Patrick Patterson as players from Huntington to play for Calipari. Peterson’s decision probably won’t come soon, but he would be a massive signing if he chooses the Wildcats.

Ohio State basketball makes cut for 5-star 2025 shooting guard

Bring him back home to the Buckeye State!

Ohio State basketball is looking to start its 2025 recruiting class with a huge boom.

Shooting guard [autotag]Darryn Peterson[/autotag], an Ohio native, who is prepping at powerhouse Huntington Prep in West Virginia, cut his top list down to 8 schools, with the Buckeyes among the contenders.

Peterson stands 6-foot, 5-inches and weighs 195-pounds, is ranked as the No. 1 player at his position and 3rd nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He’s clearly a cornerstone prospect, one that Ohio State would surely be able to build around.

The key here is that the Buckeyes have already hosted Peterson on an unofficial visit, one of three schools that he has currently visited. He is also considering going the professional route out of high school.

Currently Ohio State does not have a commit for the 2025 class, with Peterson atop its recruiting board.
