Kentucky basketball hosts five-star center Lewis Uvwo for official visit

Kentucky basketball is hosting top-10 recruit Lewis Uvwo for an official visit in Lexington this weekend. The 6-foot-11, 225-pound center from Prolific Prep arrived on campus following a visit from the coaching staff at his school in Fort Lauderdale earlier this week. Uvwo is ranked as the No. 7 recruit nationally and the No. 1 center in the 2027 class according to 247 Sports Composite rankings. Kentucky extended a scholarship offer to the prospect on May 19. The official visit provides an opportunity for Mark Pope and the Wildcats staff to showcase the program's facilities and coaching environment to the highly touted player. The program aims to strengthen its relationship with Uvwo as part of its ongoing efforts to build the 2027 recruiting class.
