Rebilas-Imagn Images Kentucky Basketball is back in the mix for San Diego State center Magoon Gwath. According to Tristan Pharis at KY Insider, Kentucky held a Zoom call with Gwath on Sunday. Despite efforts from previous seasons to land him as a high-upside prospect, Gwath remains committed to San Diego State under coach Tim Floyd after nearly a decade of basketball success there.
While this is yet another attempt by Kentucky to acquire the 7-foot, 210-pound power forward, it's highly significant for Kentucky’s recruiting efforts and their pursuit of top talent in the class of 2025. Gwath has been sidelined with hip injuries and knee surgery over the past few years but still managed to contribute significantly as a freshman, averaging 8. 9 points, 4.
3 rebounds, and 1. 5 blocks across 19 minutes per game on 60% shooting from beyond the arc. His addition could be crucial for Kentucky’s defense against Arizona's athletic forwards in upcoming matchups.
