Hawthorne Brothers Join Kentucky Basketball

0:00On April 21st, Kentucky basketball just got a family reunion on the roster for the 2026-2027 season. Braden Hawthorn is coming back after sitting out a richer year, linking up with returners like Malachai Marano, Cam Williams, Trent Noah and Reese, Potter. Right on the heels of that news, the Wildcats locked in Braden's brother, Zion Hawthorn, a point guard class of 2026. Zion's a six-foot-two standout from Huntington Prep, turning heads with offers from schools like Wichita State, LaSalle, Arkansas State, and Bethun Cookman. The team made it official quick, posting that Zion's a Wildcat now, teaming up with Big Bro on the squad. With these brothers bawling together, Kentucky's building some real continuity. Keep an eye on how they mesh-come next season.
