What a dunk by the UK signee.
How about taking a look at the dunk of the year?
What if I told you that it would be from Kentucky Wildcats signee Jasper Johnson?
That is the case as during an Overtime Elite game this weekend, Johnson put Mabil Mawut on a poster and is likely one of the contenders for dunk of the year.

Johnson, a top-15 recruit in the class of 2025, signed with Kentucky this week during the early signing period and has been a name very familiar to the BBN for quite some time.
A true three-level scorer, Johnson continues to impress with OTE during his time in Atlanta. Now, you can add this dunk to his highlight reel.
Mark Pope used the word “danger” when describing Johnson, and this dunk goes right alongside that adjective. Going to be fun watching Johnson in the blue and white next season.
Johnson is also trying to reel in one of the biggest recruits left on the board to join him at UK next season.
Caleb Wilson is one of the most popular names among the BBN, and as things stand the Cats seem to be in a great spot to land his commitment. After canceling his visit to Arkansas and announcing his top five, a decision is coming in December or January.
If it was up to Jasper, Wilson would already be a commit.
“We’re pushing for him hard. I know he’s a dominant force at the four position, can score the ball, block shots, rebound — he can do it all,” Johnson told Jack Pilgrim of KSR. “Really just trying to push him, I know that’ll make it a lot easier on us, offensively, as well. You can’t really strategize on anybody with him on our team.”
If Mark Pope and his staff can close on Wilson, the Cats would bolster a top-three recruiting class and also one that would rival typical recruiting classes we have been accustomed to in Lexington.
Going to be an interesting recruitment to watch over the next month.
