EJ Montgomery has officially joined the Kentucky men’s basketball team after signing a National Letter of Intent with the university.
Montgomery, who committed to the Wildcats last month, will join top-rated prospects Tyler Herro, Keldon Johnson and Immanuel Quickley in the class of 2018 and suit up for UK for the 2018-19 season. He chose Kentucky on April 9 over North Carolina, Duke, Georgia, Georgetown, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.
All four players are consensus four- or five-star prospects and all are ranked in the top 50 by the major national recruiting services with still the possibility of adding more. UK cannot comment on prospective student-athletes until they’ve signed official paperwork with the university.
