MN high school girls basketball recruiting

In a surprising announcement Saturday, Providence Academy junior basketball recruit Maddyn Greenway selected Kentucky as her collegiate destination, picking the Wildcats over Duke, Clemson, Iowa, Stanford, and UCLA — her other five finalists pared down from 40 offers.

“I’m so excited to be going to Kentucky,” Greenway said. “There were so many positives to every one of the schools. I now have one school that I can fully support.”

A 5-foot-8 guard, Greenway is the state’s highest-rated recruit and 18th-ranked recruit in the nation for the Class of 2026, according to ESPN.
