Shaedon Sharpe, a 6-4 shooting guard for Dream City Christian (Arizona), is one of the top players in the 2022 recruiting class and a player many seem to think is a definite lean to Kentucky — and a player who would seem to fit the new emphasis coach John Calpari says he will put on recruiting players with better overall skills.
“I would not say Shaedon is a lock for Kentucky,” said Rivals.com recruiting writer Krysten Peek. “He’s what I would call a sleeper in the recruiting class who still has options but does seem to really like Kentucky.
“I have not seen him a lot in person but when I have I have been overly impressed with his athleticism and the type of player he is. He just jumps out of the gym. He does things you do not expect to see. He is becoming a real star and has kind of blown up in this world we now know.”
Peek said he is not yet a great shooter but has “great shot mechanics” to indicate he will be a terrific shot maker.
“With his athleticism, he does not have to shoot well in high school to score,” Peek said. “He can get to wherever he wants on the court. He does know he has to fine-tune his shooting and he will but his game is very, very good.”
