Sam Houston State transfer Lamar Wilkerson is set to choose between Kentucky and Indiana, with both programs vying for his commitment amid strategic roster considerations. Although Wilkerson had initially planned visits to Auburn and Ole Miss, those plans have been canceled. Reporting from KSR’s Jack Pilgrim and On3’s Jamie Shaw indicate that Kentucky is currently gaining momentum in the recruitment race. However, Indiana remains a strong competitor, potentially leveraging Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities to outbid Kentucky. Indiana’s roster for the 2025-26 season currently has only four confirmed players, suggesting greater urgency in acquiring a talent like Wilkerson. Meanwhile, Kentucky has 12 players locked in, providing more stability. A final decision from Wilkerson is expected within the week. Despite Kentucky’s apparent edge, the situation remains fluid until an official commitment is announced.
