Kahlil Whitney, a 5-star forward in the 2019 recruiting class, has committed to Kentucky.

The 6-6 small forward announced his decision via Twitter on Wednesday after taking an official visit to the school last weekend.

Georgetown, Illinois, and Oregon were the other schools in Whitney’s final four.

According to 247Sports, he ranks as the No. 5 small forward and the No. 19 player overall in the 2019 class.

Whitney joins 5-star combo guard Tyrese Maxey and 4-star small forward Dontaie Allen in next year’s class for the Wildcats.
