Kentucky Women’s Basketball Commit Set To Play In McDonald’s All-American Game

Kentucky will also have a representative at the women’s McDonald’s All-American game.

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.”

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.

The Wisconsin women’s basketball program is in the midst of a rebuild under Mosley, who is in her second year with the program but has given Badger fans a lot to be excited about moving forward.

Whether she can pull a top talent like Carroll remains to be seen, but she’s wasting no time establishing relationships with one of the top talents in the country.

The Massachusetts native announced her scholarship offer from the University of Wisconsin via her Twitter account:
