2027 Star Guard Sydney Savoury Visits Kentucky, Impresses Coach Kenny Brooks and Big Blue Nation
The future of Kentucky Women’s Basketball may have just stepped through the doors of Memorial Coliseum. Sydney Savoury, a rising star in the Class of 2027, recently made an unofficial visit to the University of Kentucky, where she met with head coach Kenny Brooks and the rest of the Wildcats staff. Standing at 6’0″ and already gaining national attention, Savoury’s trip to Lexington has sparked excitement among fans and coaches alike.
Savoury’s visit is a major development for the Wildcats’ recruiting efforts. A standout from Michigan, she made history this past season by becoming the first **sophomore** ever to win the **Gatorade Player of the Year** award in the state. It’s a monumental honor that speaks volumes about her talent, leadership, and impact on the court—even at such a young age.
Coach Kenny Brooks, who took over the Kentucky program in 2024 and has already begun reshaping it into a contender in the SEC, reportedly had a great conversation with Savoury and her family. The visit included a tour of the facilities, a deep dive into the program’s vision for the future, and an opportunity for Sydney to see the culture and energy surrounding Kentucky Women’s Basketball.
“She’s got poise, skill, and a maturity that’s rare for someone in her class,” one UK staff member noted. “She’s already a star—and she’s only going to get better.”
Savoury’s game is well-rounded. She can score at all three levels, facilitates offense like a veteran, and plays defense with grit. Her size and versatility make her a matchup problem for opposing guards. During her sophomore campaign in Michigan, she averaged over 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game, dominating both ends of the floor and leading her team to a deep playoff run.
Fans across Big Blue Nation have already begun to show love and support on social media, using hashtags like **#BBN**, **#WBB**, and **#LaFamilia** to welcome Savoury to the Bluegrass. The buzz around her visit comes at a time when Kentucky is actively pursuing elite talent in future classes, determined to build a championship-caliber program under Brooks’ leadership.
With a foundation already forming from the 2025 and 2026 classes, adding a game-changer like Savoury in 2027 would be a massive recruiting victory. And while there’s still a long way to go in the recruiting process, her visit to Lexington clearly left a positive impression—on both sides.
As the recruiting world continues to keep tabs on one of the brightest young stars in the nation, Kentucky has firmly positioned itself as a serious contender for her commitment. For now, Big Blue Nation will keep showing Sydney Savoury the love and respect she deserves.
And if this visit was any indication, the connection between Kentucky and Savoury is just beginning.
