The Kentucky deparutres continued on Tuesday afternoon as another member of its 2024 recruting class left the program.

This time it was five-star wing Billy Richmond, according to numerous reports. Richmond had originally committed to Kentucky over Alabama, LSU, and Memphis.

According to 247Sports national analyst Brandon Jenkins, Richmond is expected to follow John Calipari to Arkansas. Richmond's dad played for Calipari at Memphis.

Richmond joins fellow 2024 commits Boogie Fland, Somto Cyril, Karter Knox and Jayden Quaintance who have opened up their recruitments following the depature of Calipari.

Four-star guard Travis Perry from Lyon County (Ky.) is the only member of the John Calipari recruiting class who remains committed.

Kentucky did receive a commitment from former BYU pledge Collin Chandler on Tuesday Morning, a former top-35 prospect in the 2022 class. He took a two-year mission trip and will begin his freshman year this fall.
