Four-star point guard Acaden Lewis has decommitted from Kentucky’s 2025 recruiting class.
Lewis, ranked No. 30 overall and No. 5 at his position by the 247Sports composite, committed to the Wildcats in November.
“I will always be grateful to Coach (Mark) Pope and the entire Kentucky staff for believing in me,” Lewis said in a statement Thursday to ESPN. “It is clear Kentucky is a special place with an amazing fanbase, but as I reflect on what is best for my future, I have decided to re-open my recruitment.
“This was an incredibly difficult decision, but after a lot of discussion with my family and people I trust, I feel this is necessary. This is not in any way a reflection of any negative feelings towards Coach Pope and Kentucky. I appreciate your understanding and am excited for what the future holds.”
The 6-foot-2 Lewis starred at Sidwell Friends School in Bethesda, Md., where he was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for the Washington, D.C., area as a junior.
Prior to pledging to Kentucky, the other finalists on Lewis’ list included Duke, North Carolina and UConn.
