Jaxson Davis offered by Kentucky Basketball
The momentum from Ryan Hampton’s commitment on Sunday morning didn’t slow down for Mark Pope!
Later that day, 4-star 2027 point guard Jaxson Davis announced on Instagram that he had received an offer from Kentucky. The 6-foot-1 guard out of Warren Township in Gurnee, Illinois, is ranked No. 42 overall in the 2027 recruiting cycle by 247 Sports and is considered the top prospect in the state of Illinois.
Davis isn’t just some name on a list. He took home his second consecutive Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year award after a standout junior season, and he’s backed it up on the EYBL circuit this spring with MeanStreets, averaging 14.2 points, 5.2 assists, and 1.6 steals while shooting nearly 39 percent from three. Some of that production came with Kentucky coaches in the building.
The offer list is crowded: Missouri, Iowa, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and more are all involved, so this one will take time. But one detail worth noting: Among the players Davis says he models his game after is former Kentucky guard Tyrese Maxey.
With Hampton already on board, the Cats are building something in the 2027 class, perhaps the best class Pope has had in Lexington.
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Four people have died due to flooding from thunderstorms in Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear said Saturday, and he declared a state of emergency with additional rainfall expected.
Flash flood warnings were in effect Saturday for parts of Kentucky and Indiana amid heavy rainfall, according to the National Weather Service.
The agency late Saturday afternoon said between 4 and 10 inches of rain had already fallen in some parts of southwestern Indiana, with more possible. Beshear’s office said up to 7 inches of rain were expected in parts of his state through the late evening.
He said on social media that three people had died in Madison County and one in Jackson County due to flooding.
Two of the flood victims, a man and a woman, were found dead inside their house after floodwaters inundated a section of the city of Richmond, Kentucky, and trapped residents inside their homes, according to the Madison County coroner’s office.
Another victim was extracted from a vehicle trapped in floodwaters on Tates Creek Road near Lexington, the coroner’s office said.
Carlos Coyle, the deputy Madison County coroner, said search and rescue teams were going door to door searching for victims in hard-hit areas. Some areas still were not accessible, he said.
Beshear said on social media there were “significant roads underwater” in Madison County. He also said at least 12 state roads were “out of commission” because they were flooded.
“This is a serious flooding event, where teams have already had to conduct multiple water rescues from vehicles and homes across the commonwealth,” he said in a separate statement. “As more heavy rain continues through late tonight, we need folks to remain alert and to avoid driving, especially after dark when there is limited visibility.”
In northwest Kentucky, just outside Louisville, Bullitt County emergency management officials asked residents of a rural road to evacuate as a precaution after a landslide at a dam embankment. The dam was holding, and there was no indication of imminent failure, they said.
The area saw about 3 inches of rain in the past two days, according to the National Weather Service.
