Class of 2023 big man Aaron Bradshaw visits Kentucky, Louisville
By ADAM ZAGORIAAaron Bradshaw, the 7-foot-2 big man from Camden (NJ) High School and the NJ Scholars Nike EYBL team, took an official visit to Kentucky this weekend and then headed to Louisville.
Bradshaw is a high school and AAU teammate of D.J. Wagner, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2023 who is trending toward Louisville but has also been recruited by Kentucky and others.
Bradshaw picked up an offer from Kentucky in April.
Kentucky currently has two players from Camden High on its roster in Lance Ware and Kareem Watkins, Wagner’s brother. Calipari, of course, also coached Dajuan Wagner, D.J.’s father and the all-time leading scorer in New Jersey prep history, at Memphis.
Bradshaw averaged 8.9 points and 7.4 rebounds this past season for a Camden team that won the New Jersey Group 2 state title and reached the title game of the final Tournament of Champions in New Jersey history, where they lost to Roselle Catholic. 61-58, on March 20.
As for who has been recruiting Bradshaw, he said in April, “I would say Kentucky, Maryland, Kansas and Seton Hall.”
