2027’s Top Big Man Set to Visit Kentucky This October—What Could This Mean for the Wildcats?
When a 7-foot talent from Indiana starts turning heads with his shot-blocking on the EYBL circuit, you know he’s someone worth watching closely. Isaiah Hill, a 5-star gem with an imposing defensive presence—averaging over three blocks a game alongside solid scoring and rebounding numbers—has caught the eye of Kentucky’s coaching staff. Word on the street from recruiting insider Sam Kayser is that Hill will be making his way to Kentucky on October 18, a visit that could shake up the recruiting landscape. Ranking as high as 13th overall by ESPN and holding multiple Division I offers, this rising big man isn’t just about raw size; his coaches rave about his ability to make an impact without hogging the ball, a rare trait that could change the defensive game entirely. With Indiana, Georgetown, Syracuse, Purdue, and Louisville already in the mix, things are heating up fast—could Kentucky’s interest soon turn into a formal offer? This could be a pivotal moment worth keeping an eye on.
According to high school recruiting insider Sam Kayser, 5-star prospect Isaiah Hill is set to visit Kentucky on October 18.
The near 7-footer from Indiana made some noise over the summer on the Nike EYBL circuit with his shot-blocking ability, averaging more than 3 blocks per game to go along with 9 points and 6 rebounds. His performance over the summer caught the eye of Kentucky assistant coach Mikhail McLean, who made contact with Hill this summer.
Hill is ranked as high as 13th overall by ESPN. He’s ranked 32nd overall and the #4 center in the class by the 247 Sports Composite rankings.
Hill currently holds offers from Indiana, Georgetown, Syracuse, and Purdue. Louisville has also shown interest.
Hill’s coaches say he’s the type of player who doesn’t have to have the ball in his hands to make an impact on the floor, and that size and length can be an absolute difference-maker on the defensive end as his offensive game continues to evolve.
Could a Kentucky offer be coming soon?
