With the addition of Quaintance, Kentucky now has the second-best recruiting class in the nation in the 247Sports rankings. He is the first recruit ranked as a five-star to commit to Kentucky in this class.
All four commits for Kentucky, three of which have signed with the Wildcats, are ranked in the top 70 in the nation.
Duke, who obtained a commitment from Cooper Flagg in late October, has the consensus top recruiting class in the nation.
