Coach Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball have already landed two top recruits in the 2025 class in Malachi Moreno and Jasper Johnson. They aren’t stopping there, however. This weekend, the Cats will host two of 2025’s best recruits for a visit.
Chris Cenac Jr is a five-star center out of Louisiana that Kentucky originally offered back in June. Despite the commitment from Moreno, Pope has stayed in contact, and 247sports’ number ten overall player still has interest as well.

Mikel Brown Jr is also rated five stars by 247sports. The point guard out of Florida is the seventh overall player in the class, and has been hearing from Kentucky since May.
Both Cenac and Brown will be visiting Lexington starting this Friday, and they’ll be there all weekend.
It will be interesting to see how the recruitment of Cenac and Brown plays out amidst Pope’s recruitment of Caleb Wilson and Acaden Lewis. Either way, if Kentucky can land two of those four, it will be an elite first class for Pope and his staff.
