In a huge recruiting win for Kentucky, ESPN confirms that five-star basketball phenom Maddyn Greenway has officially committed to the Kentucky Wildcats, choosing the Bluegrass program over Georgia and Florida in what many are calling one of the most anticipated decisions of the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Greenway, a 6-foot combo guard out of Minnesota, is ranked among the top 10 players in the nation for the Class of 2025. Known for her court vision, three-level scoring ability, and lockdown defense, Greenway is expected to make an immediate impact in Lexington. The announcement was made during an exclusive ESPN interview, where she revealed the three major factors that led her to commit to Kentucky.

“The culture, the coaching staff, and the fans,” Greenway said with a smile. “Those three things really set Kentucky apart.”

Greenway elaborated, first praising the Wildcats’ winning culture: “At Kentucky, the expectation is excellence. It’s not just about talent — it’s about competing with heart, toughness, and accountability. That’s what I want to be part of.”

She also highlighted her connection with the coaching staff, calling Coach Kyra Elzy “a mentor and a leader who truly believes in empowering her players.” According to Greenway, the trust and communication between her and the coaching team was “unmatched” during the recruiting process.

Lastly, she couldn’t overlook Big Blue Nation, calling them “the most passionate fans in college basketball.” Maddyn recalled attending a Kentucky home game last season and being overwhelmed by the energy in Rupp Arena. “It felt like home,” she said. “That moment sealed it for me.”

Wildcat Nation wasted no time celebrating the news. Social media lit up with congratulatory messages from fans, current players, and Kentucky legends. Coach Elzy tweeted, “We just got better. Maddyn, welcome to the family. Let’s work.”

Greenway’s commitment boosts Kentucky’s 2025 recruiting class to top-tier status and signals a strong resurgence in women’s hoops for the program. With Greenway’s explosive playmaking and undeniable charisma, Kentucky has secured not just a future All-American—but a potential face of the program.

As the blue carpet rolls out in Lexington, one thing is clear: Maddyn Greenway is ready to make her mark. And she’s doing it in Kentucky blue.
