Four-star guard Acaden Lewis is committed to Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats

Mark Pope just added his third member to the class of 2025 when four-star guard Acaden Lewis chose the Wildcats over Duke and UConn. Lewis is ranked as the 36th best player in the class of 2025, but it’s hard to imagine there are 35 players better than him in the class.

Lewis will be a perfect fit in the backcourt of this 2025 recruiting class for Kentucky as he will be the one, and Jasper Johnson will play against the two. Lewis is a natural point guard when it comes to passing the rock, but he can also shoot, making him perfect for Coach Pope’s system.

Now that Kentucky has landed Lewis, the hope is that Caleb Wilson will follow right behind him and pick Kentucky. Wilson is a top ten player in the class of 2025, and he has been very vocal about wanting to play his college hoops with Lewis.

Coach Pope has already put together an elite 2025 class with the additions of Lewis, Johnson and Malachi Moreno, and if he is able to land Wilson, this could be the number one overall class.

Coach Pope has been quick to dismiss criticism that he wasn’t a great recruiter in less than six months in Lexington.

Here’s a scouting report on Lewis from Adam Finkelstein of 247Sports: “Overall, he’s one of the most talented guards in the country in terms of what he can do with the ball in his hands, but his long-term ceiling will be based be on his efficiency, defensive commitment, ability to build his body and withstand physicality in the coming years.”
