Get ready, because one of the biggest names in high school basketball could be inching closer to calling Lexington home.
According to Travis Branham of 247 Sports, elite 2026 prospect Anthony Thompson has officially locked in a visit with the Kentucky Wildcats — and the timing could be everything. Thompson is heading to Lexington on September 24, and sources say a commitment could be coming soon after.
Why is this visit a big deal?
Because it’s the last one on his calendar.
Before touching down in the Bluegrass, Thompson plans to visit North Carolina, Ohio State, Indiana, Michigan, and Texas. But with Kentucky getting the final say, fans and analysts alike are buzzing: Could this be the Cats’ recruitment to lose?

Big Blue fans: Mark your calendars. September 24 could be the day everything changes.
