Kentucky basketball target Nate Ament has an impressive performance

Recruit Nate Ament had a huge weekend in front of Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope.

Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope has already extended a scholarship offer to 2025 recruit Nate Ament. He has also gotten to watch him play in person, including a recent outing where the top 15 prospect had a huge game.

Over the weekend, Ament played at the DMV Live with Pope in attendance. The Wildcats coach would see the star recruit put on a show.

Ament averaged 28 points, 14 rebounds, and over 2 blocks per game through four games at the event, but on Friday, he had his biggest. He scored 41 points and had 27 rebounds and 6 blocks in that game, with Pope watching.

The 6’9″ power forward is a top ten player in the 2025 class according to 247sports. Pope will be battling most of the top programs in the country for his services, as he has offers from most of them already.

Ament would be a great fit on the Wildcats offense, and Pope would love to land him as the centerpiece of his 2025 class. Big Blue Nation would love to see him in Lexington as well.

Notre Dame basketball offers 2025 5-star Virginia power forward

The Irish enter the 5-stars recruitment

It was quite the day for 2025 Virginia power forward [autotag]Nate Ament[/autotag] on Monday afternoon.

The 6-foot, 9-inch and 185-pound star received three big time offers: Oregon, Kentucky and Notre Dame. Ament is ranked as one of the top players in the country, the No. 16 overall prospect and 5th ranked power forward according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

If head coach Micah Schrewsberry is able to convince Ament to join the Irish, it would be his biggest recruiting win since taking over of the program. The Irish currently don’t have a commitment in the 2025 class, so starting off with a 5-star would be a huge boost to the program.

Clearly it won’t be an easy recruiting win for Notre Dame, as they are contending with some of the best programs in the country. It’s still too early to know where Ament is leaning towards, especially since he has yet to take any official visits.

If one is to South Bend, you can bet the red carpet will be rolled out.

Kansas and Duke are among the basketball powerhouses who have also offered Ament so far. There are sure to be others to jump into his recruitment as well.

The list of players offered by Pope and Kentucky continues to grow. They are not shying away from the top talents in the class, even in Pope’s first official recruiting class. Big Blue Nation will anxiously await Ament’s decision, along with the other players Kentucky has offered.
