Acaden Lewis, 5-Star Point Guard, Commits to Michigan Wolverines Over Kentucky Wildcats
In a stunning twist to the 2025 basketball recruiting saga, 5-star point guard Acaden Lewis has announced his commitment to the University of Michigan, turning down a high-profile offer from the Kentucky Wildcats. Lewis, widely regarded as the best point guard prospect in the nation, made the decision public after months of speculation, leaving fans and analysts buzzing about the future of both programs.
The 6’4” playmaker from Atlanta, Georgia, had previously been courted by some of the biggest names in college basketball, with Kentucky being a major contender. The Wildcats, known for their impressive track record of developing elite guards, seemed like a natural fit for the top recruit. However, Lewis’ commitment to Michigan represents a significant shift in the recruiting landscape for both schools.
Lewis is celebrated for his explosive athleticism, elite court vision, and ability to control the tempo of the game. His ability to break down defenses, create plays for his teammates, and score efficiently makes him an ideal floor general for any team. Scouts have compared him to some of the best point guards in recent history, including NBA stars like Ja Morant and Chris Paul.
The Wolverines’ program, led by head coach Juwan Howard, has made significant strides in recent years, and the addition of a talent like Lewis only amplifies their national championship aspirations. Michigan fans have already begun to celebrate the commitment, with many excited about the future of their backcourt.
For Kentucky, the loss of Lewis is a tough blow to their recruiting efforts, but coach John Calipari and his staff remain undeterred. The Wildcats are expected to continue their pursuit of other high-caliber prospects as they look to maintain their dominance on the recruiting trail.
With Lewis now officially a Wolverine, all eyes will be on Michigan to see how he develops and contributes to their championship hopes in the upcoming seasons.
