Pierre Rondo, son of former Kentucky star, shines in playoff debut as an 8th grader

North Oldham (Ky. ) eighth grade point guard Pierre Rondo , the son of former UK star and longtime NBA guard Rajon Rondo , has been shining on the Kentucky high school hardwood all throughout the 2025-26 season and that continued Thursday night when the postseason began in the Blue Grass State. The younger Rondo was superb in a 74-61 victory over Lyon County , scoring 25 points, dishing out seven assists and grabbing four rebounds.

Part of the Class of 2030 recruiting cycle, the eighth grade phenom is likely to become one of the top overall prospects when it’s all said and done. Pierre Rondo Jr. just Played in his first State Tourney..
