Kentucky is set to host an elite trio of recruits for this weekend’s scheduled Big Blue Madness event. The Wildcats are expected to host five-star Jordan Smith Jr., five-star Caleb Holt and four-star Josh Irving.
Big Blue Madness is Kentucky’s annual tip-off to its men’s and women’s basketball seasons and serves as a vital weekend to mark the beginning of a new season.
Holt also visited last year’s event, alongside former five-star Acaden Lewis, who is now at Villanova and Tyran Stokes, the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2026.
Kentucky is entering head coach Mark Pope’s second season in Lexington.
The event will take place on Saturday, October 11, beginning at 6 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on the SEC Network+.
