Brandon Huntley Hatfield in his Sports Illustrated Blog addresses the big rumors in his recruitment. 2022 Brandon Huntley Hatfield on the buzz of him being a Kentucky lock, via his Sports Illustrated blog: "I want to say this too; I think the word on me is that I’m a lock for Kentucky, just because it’s known that they were my dream school growing up. I want to say here in my blog that I’m not set on any school. I don’t look at things the same way that I did when I was a kid; now I know the importance of picking the right fit and that’s what I’m really focusing on in this process." "I’m not locked in on any one school. I think that’s the thing that’s holding some other schools back from recruiting me, so I just want to let it be know that I’m open to everyone equally at this point." He also spoke about the rumors of him reclassifying to 2021: "I also want to address the rumors going around that I’m going to reclassify to 2021; that was a thought at first, but I’m really big on trusting the process and not rushing things." "I’m good staying in the 2022 class and, like I said, I’m focused on getting better and being as ready as possible when I go to the next level." He also mentioned the schools he talks to the most and Kentucky was one of them. Brandon Huntley Hatfield on his Sports Illustrated blog / via Jason Jordan.
