Five-star Lyles picks Kentucky, cements top class

Trey Lyles, a 6-foot-10 power forward and the No. 7 overall player in the Class of 2014, announced his commitment to Kentucky on Tuesday.

The Indianapolis/Arsenal Technical High School product announced his decision at a news conference carried live on ESPNU.

Lyles had been considering only Kentucky and Louisville since September after having previously dropped Florida and Butler from his list.

Lyles is a highly skilled big man who prefers to play facing the basket. He's at his best from 17 feet and in, where he can knock down open jumpers, attack off the dribble or operate from the low to mid-post.
