TJ Power #12 of the Duke Blue Devils
The Kentucky Wildcats have reached out to Duke Blue Devils forward TJ Power, as reported by 24/7 High School Hoops. Other schools, including Arkansas, Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan, and BYU, have also made contact.
As a 5-star recruit in the class of 2023, Power chose Duke over offers from several prominent programs. However, he saw limited playing time during his freshman season due to the presence of Kyle Filipowski and Mark Mitchell in the frontcourt.

Standing at 6-foot-9 and weighing 216 pounds, Power averaged 2.1 points and 0.7 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per game over the season. While Kentucky may view him as a potential contributor off the bench, his role may be limited given his lack of experience and playing time at Duke.
Despite this, Power possesses the ability to stretch the floor, as evidenced by his 35.7% three-point shooting last season, making him an intriguing prospect for teams looking for versatile big men.
