One of the most dynamic wings in the 2025 class is eyeing a visit to Kentucky next month. 2025 five-star Will Riley holds offers from nearly two dozen programs and the Wildcats are among his top schools.

According to Sam Lance of Zagsblog.com, Riley is looking to take visits to Kentucky and Alabama in June. He also confirmed that the five schools he will be focusing on in his recruitment are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky and the NBL.

Last weekend was the first live session of the spring and Mark Pope was on hand to see a very efficient and effective weekend from Riley in Indianapolis. The 6-foot-8 wing averaged 25.8 points per game.

That even included a massive 42-point outing where he was 15-of-16 from the floor.

"The 6-foot-8 forward can not only shoot it at a high level," 247Sports national analyst Dushawn London wrote this weekend. "But also uses his size to get to his mid range pull up, along with his smooth touch around the rim."

Riley is ranked the No. 16 overall player in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 3 small forward in the class.

“I’m positionless and I can shoot, pass,” Riley told Lance. “People underlook my passing a lot but I feel like I’ve worked on it enough to show I’m a pretty good passer. Often high-rated prospects can only just score. But I feel like I can make my team better. Communicating with them, passing to them, putting them in the right positions to succeed. I don’t just want myself to win, I want my whole team to win. I want my whole team to be in a great position.”
