Lamar Wilkerson, a talented 6-foot-3, 205-pound shooting guard from Sam Houston State, is currently considering two top college basketball programs: Indiana University and the University of Kentucky. After visiting both campuses, Wilkerson is now evaluating which program best fits his needs and aspirations.
A Key Concern: Role on the Team
Wilkerson’s camp has expressed concerns about his potential role on the team, particularly at Kentucky. They’ve inquired about the Wildcats’ plans for the shooting guard position, indicating that Wilkerson wants a defined role and doesn’t want to be “just another guy” on the team. This suggests he’s looking for a program where he can thrive and contribute significantly.
Wilkerson’s Skills and Fit
As a prolific shooter (44.5% three-point shooting percentage) and scorer (20.5 points per game), Wilkerson would be a valuable asset to any team. His skills could complement Kentucky’s lineup, potentially making them a preseason top-five team. However, the fit between Wilkerson’s playing style and the team’s culture will likely play a significant role in his decision.
What’s Next?
While Wilkerson hasn’t made an official commitment yet, his visits and interactions with both programs suggest he’s carefully weighing his options. With his decision looming, fans of both Indiana and Kentucky are eagerly awaiting his choice. Will Wilkerson join the Hoosiers or the Wildcats? Only time will tell.
