Five-Star Recruit Jayden Quaintance Seeks Release from Kentucky

Following Coach John Calipari's departure to Arkansas, Jayden Quaintance, a top-ranked basketball recruit, has requested to withdraw his commitment to Kentucky.

Jayden Quaintance, a highly-touted center, has requested to be released from his letter of intent with Kentucky.
This decision follows the recent move of Kentucky's head coach John Calipari to Arkansas, prompting several recruits to reconsider their commitments.
Quaintance, only 16 years old, was the top recruit in Kentucky's class and cannot enter the NBA draft until 2026.
He is considering other programs such as Arkansas, Missouri, and Ohio State for his future college basketball career.
Quaintance's potential move could significantly impact the recruiting landscape, as he was a major factor in Kentucky's previously top-ranked class.
