SOURCES: Top uncommitted 2026 prospect Sara Okeke to visit Kentucky for Vanderbilt game

Sara Okeke, the top uncommitted prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, will be visiting Kentucky for the Vanderbilt game on Thursday, sources tell KSR. The news was initially broken on The Memorial Memo, KSR’s Kentucky women’s basketball podcast.

En route to earning MVP honors at the 2025 FIBA U18 EuroBasket Championship, Okeke averaged 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. She’s also a high-flyer and can dunk the basketball.

The 6-foot-4 center out of Spain is not featured in any recruiting rankings at the moment, but according to ESPN’s Shane Laflin, she is an “international five-star” and a “top-20 talent” that will appear in the updated rankings that come out in the spring. Sources that KSR has spoken with regarding Okeke seem to agree that she’s somewhat in that range. Okeke currently attends DME Academy (FL), where Kentucky guard Dominika Paurová went.

UConn, South Carolina, LSU, Tennessee, Louisville, Indiana and Miami are other teams that appear to have been involved in her recruitment thus far. In the same article linked above, Laflin noted that Okeke has taken unofficial visits to Louisville, Indiana and Miami and she “plans to take more visits after the high school season”.
