BJ Boston, a 5-star guard in the 2020 recruiting class, has reportedly set his official visit to Kentucky for July 26.
The 6-6 shooting guard is among the most talented prospects in the class, and he continues to be pursued by some of the nation’s top programs.
He’s already had official visits to Auburn and Florida, with Duke and Oregon also in his final five schools.
Five-star BJ Boston will take an official visit to Kentucky on July 25, he tells @Rivals. Has also expanded his list from four to five. Oregon now is in contention along with the Wildcats, Auburn, Duke and Florida @RowlandRIVALS @DuckSports https://t.co/KnZ8ozNti4

Boston is rated as the top player in Georgia and No. 10 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.
The Wildcats put together another top five class for this season, with a trio of 5-star players in Tyrese Maxey, Kahlil Whitney, and Keion Brooks leading the way.
Lovell’s Analysis
John Calipari being involved with one of the best players in the country? There’s a surprise.
But in all seriousness, BJ Boston is a tremendous player who can use his size and length to create havoc in the backcourt.
And as usual, most recruiting analysts project Kentucky and Duke as the top frontrunners to land him.
If the Wildcats can add him to the mix for the 2020-2021 season, it would be an excellent addition for Calipari and company.
