Hawthorne Brothers Reunite at Kentucky

0:00On April 27, Kentucky just beefed up their basketball squad with Zion Hawthorne, the little brother of Braden Hawthorne, who already committed to. Return This 6 foot 2 combo guard from Huntington Prep is now officially a Wildcat, linking up with family on the court. Zion put up solid numbers in his senior year, averaging 11.2 points, seven assists, and three rebounds per game. He had looks from schools like Wichita State, Arkansas State, and a few others, but the pole to Lexington one out. For Zion, it all feels like perfect timing growing up rooting for Kentucky, plus playing alongside his brother makes it the spot to level up his game. He knows the roster is stacked deep, so breaking into the rotation won't be easy right away. Like Braden, who sat out his freshman year as a wretched, Zion gets the reality of limited minutes early on. Still, he's all about grinding hard to earn his spot over time. The Hawthorne brothers are locked in for growth and development, ready to contribute
