Mark Pope got the 2025 Kentucky basketball recruiting class started with a bang.
Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats just landed an elite prospect in the 2025 class. The number one center in the class, Malachi Moreno, just picked the Kentucky Wildcats over schools like Indiana, North Carolina, and Arkansas. Moreno is ranked as the 26th best player in the 2025 class according to 247Sports composite rankings.
What makes this commitment so special for Kentucky is that Moreno is from Kentucky attending Great Crossing High School in Georgetown. It is always important to keep the elite homegrown talent in the state, and Coach Pope was able to get this done. Moreno is a seven-footer who does precisely what Coach Pope wants a big to do on the floor. He is fluid with the basketball around the rim and can pass. Moreno is going to be an elite big for the Wildcats, and he has unquestionable NBA upside.
From day one, Coach Pope made Moreno a priority, and landing the best center in the 2025 class proves he will be able to recruit the big dogs out of high school."Moreno has game changing size in the lane and a good skill set for a true center. He’s not just one of the better big men in the country, but also one who can easily adapt to offensive structure, and play from various spots on the floor in different offensive schemes.
