Top 7 landing spots for 5-star PF Chris Cenac ft. Auburn, Kentucky and LSU

Chris Cenac Jr., a five-star prospect from the Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, is the No. 7 prospect in the Class of 2025 as per On3. The 6-foot-10 power forward has narrowed down his list of schools to seven on Wednesday.

The schools are Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Houston, Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee. He has made official visits to Houston, Auburn, Tennessee and Kentucky.

#7. Baylor

Bill Armstrong, an assistant coach for the Baylor Bears, served as head coach at Link Academy for the past two seasons. While the school didn't initially rank high in On3's prediction rankings, it surprised many when Cenac included the Bears in his top seven.

#6. Tennessee

Cenac visited Tennessee last month. The Volunteers are a top contender to land the power forward, as his high school, Link Academy, has a relationship with Tennessee assistant coach Rod Clark. Former Link Academy players Cameron Carr, Felix Okpara and Cade Phillips are playing for the Volunteers.

#5. Arkansas

The Arkansas Razorbacks are also pursuing Chris Cenac, with coach John Calipari visiting the five-star power forward at Link Academy on Tuesday. Cenac could be a good fit for the Razorbacks, potentially teaming up with fellow five-star recruit Darius Acuff.

#4. Kentucky

Kentucky Wildcats coach Mark Pope has been actively trying to recruit Chris Cenac. He visited the forward twice in September before Cenac made his official visit to Lexington. If Cenac signs with Kentucky, the Wildcats would have a powerful frontline, having already signed five-star center Malachi Moreno. The team has also secured five-star combo guard Jasper Johnson.

#3. Auburn

Chris Cenac is what Auburn needs to boost its frontcourt, as Johni Broome and Dylan Cardwell are entering their final year of eligibility. The power forward has already visited Auburn, which has a 12.4% chance of landing him, according to On3.

#2. Houston

Cenac has visited Houston more than once, including an official visit in September. He has praised Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson and complimented the team for its physical play and defense.

#1. LSU

Cenac has yet to visit LSU officially. However, he has visited the school unofficially twice.

“My relationship is good with the staff," Cenac said regarding LSU in July (via On3). "The whole staff reaches out pretty much all the time. They’re still building their program. I want to see this year what they do this year, with the team they have. They have great facilities down there. How up to date their facilities are stood out to me.”

LSU has a 28.0% chance of landing Chris Cenac, according to On3.
