4-Star Recruit Announces Decommitment From Kentucky Wildcats…

one of the worst Kentucky basketball seasons of all time. Now heading into a new year, the Wildcats are getting some more bad news.

Incoming four-star point guard recruit  has decommitted from the Blue Blood program, making the announcement via Instagram story on Friday afternoon.

Wildcats insider Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio shared a screenshot of the message on Twitter.

“I got nothing but All love for BBN.. Coach cal.. and the entire kentucky coaching staff. Thank you,” Hickman wrote.

Coming out of Wasatch Academy in Mount Pleasant, Utah, Hickman is ranked as the No. 4 point guard and No. 29 overall recruit in the 2021 class. His distinction as a top-tier recruit earned him a slew of offers before he ultimately decided to commit to John Calipari’s Kentucky squad prior to this last season.

With Devin Askew transferring to Texas earlier this offseason and Davion Mintz graduating, Hickman would have virtually no competition at the point guard position next season. In fact, just a few months ago, the 6-foot-2 PG didn’t seem concerned about his future playing time.
