Kentucky and head coach John Calipari are loading up in their 2017 recruiting class, as four-star guard Jemarl Baker pledged his commitment on Tuesday, he told Evan Daniels of Scout.com.

Baker gives the Wildcats a whopping seven commits, all of whom are either ranked inside the ESPN top 100, or are five-stars.

Of the six commits inside the ESPN top 100, Baker is the lowest ranked, coming in as the 65th overall player.

Position Name Star Rank
SG Hamidou Diallo 5 N/A
C Nick Richards 5 11
PF P.J. Washington 5 14
PG Quade Green 5 22
PF Jarred Vanderbilt 5 23
PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 4 32
SG Jemarl Baker 4 65

Baker originally signed with Cal, but obtained his release after Cuonzo Martin left to become head coach at Missouri in March.
