The Kentucky Wildcats‘ Las Vegas trip is underway, and the team has already done a few things in just a couple of days out west. The team was doing some high-level recruiting as the EYBL period is underway in Vegas.

On Thursday afternoon, KSR’s Jack Pilgrim posted a photo of the Wildcats men’s basketball team watching some of the best high school talent in the nation, including 5-star commit Ryan Hampton. Always nice to check in on a future Cat.

La Familia is a real thing throughout the nation, with many Wildcats currently in Las Vegas as the NBA Summer League is underway, and includes 11 former Wildcats. Mark Pope’s current team will also be watching them at some point over the next couple of days.

Another former Wildcat was in the house at the EYBL event, as John Wall was spotted in the building.

Pope’s team will spend a few more days out west as they bond on and off the court and make unforgettable memories.
