Let's Go Places on the Recruiting Trail: Ashton Hagans, Newton PG

Ashton Hagans established himself as one of the nation's elite point guards at Newton High School in Covington, Georgia. The 2019 prospect averaged 20 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds per game during his junior season, earning Georgia's Gatorade Player of the Year award.

Hagans's pass-first mentality, defensive intensity, and leadership drew comparisons to previous Kentucky point guards. His commitment to Coach John Calipari's program positioned him to potentially reclassify and join the Wildcats early, continuing UK's tradition of elite floor generals.
