Another visit to watch.
The Kentucky Wildcats‘ summer practice is winding down, and now the fans’ attention can turn solely to recruiting until Big Blue Madness in October.
With several visits already scheduled for this fall, Mark Pope and his staff can now add another name to the list.
According to a report by Jacob Polacheck of KSR, 4-star center Arafan Diane will be taking an official visit to Lexington on September 26- 27. He also has scheduled visits to Arkansas (September 12-14) and Houston (October 9-12).
Diane, a 7-foot-1 and 260-pound center who plays for Iowa United Prep, recently received an offer from the Cats back in July. With a solid showing on the Adidas 3SSB AAU circuit this summer, four-star center has seen his recruitment blow up with some big-time offers.
Kentucky also has a solid connection if they decide to get really serious in this recruitment, as Diane is coached by Coach Pope’s brother-in-law, Damon Archibald, at Iowa United Prep.
This recruitment still has a ways to go, but it is definitely one to watch as we go into the fall.
NEW: 2026 four-star center Arafan Diane will take an official visit to Kentucky from Sept. 26-27, he tells KSR+.
Diane has also set visits to Arkansas and Houston.
