All four of UK’s 2014 basketball recruiting class were announced as members of the Jordan Brand Classic.

Forward Trey Lyles (Arsenal Technical High School, Indianapolis) and center Karl Towns (St. Joseph’s High School, Metuchen, N.J.) will represent the East team. Guards Devin Booker (Moss Point High School, Moss Point, Miss.) and Tyler Ulis (Marian Catholic High School, Chicago Heights, Ill.) will represent the West team.

UK and Duke University lead the event with four commitments each.

Myles Turner (Trinity High School, Euless, Texas.) is the only undecided player in the national game. He is the No. 2 overall player in the 2014 class, according to ESPN. UK is still in contention for the talented 7-foot center.

UK has been well represented in the Jordan Brand Classic in the past. UK freshman forward Julius Randle won co-MVP last season with Duke’s Jabari Parker.

In 2011, Anthony Davis won co-MVP honors with University of North Carolina forward James Michael McAdoo.

The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. will host the event for the second straight year. It will be held April 18, with an international game and regional game preceding the national game, which is set to tip at 7 p.m.
