2026 guard Emily McDonald set for unofficial visit to Kentucky WBB
Kentucky is making moves in the 2026 class.
On Thursday, the No. 4 prospect in the class, Olivia Vukosa, released her Top 7 which included the Cats. Now, Kenny Brooks and the staff will be hosting 5-foot-11 guard Emily McDonald on an unofficial visit this weekend.
McDonald holds offers from a plethora of high-profile programs including TCU, Maryland and Michigan State, North Carolina and Virginia Tech, among others.
Kentucky has already secured a commitment from 5-foot-8 point guard Maddyn Greenway, and if they are able to reel in McDonald, that could make for a star-studded backcourt for the next several years in Lexington.
