Magoon Gwath contacted by Kentucky Basketball, again

Kentucky Basketball is back in the mix for San Diego State center Magoon Gwath.
According to Tristan Pharis at KY Insider, Kentucky held a Zoom call with Gwath on Sunday. It’s unclear how much interest there is between the two sides at this point, but it’s very notable for Kentucky to contact Gwath after nearly landing him in 2025.
When the 7-foot, 210-pound Gwath went portaling last offseason, Kentucky emerged as the favorite to land him, but he ultimately remained at San Diego State, and the Wildcats would eventually pivot to Jayden Quaintance.
This past season as a sophomore, Gwath appeared in 25 games (16 starts), averaging 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 19 minutes per game. He missed several games in conference play due to a hip injury and missed the start of the season due to offseason knee surgery.
Gwath started all 26 games he played in as a freshman the previous season, averaging 8.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks across 24.9 minutes per game.
Because of the injury history and limited offensive production, Gwath would likely be someone Kentucky recruits as a backup behind projected starter Malachi Moreno. However, Gwath would definitely add some much-needed rim protection to a Kentucky defense that is in dire need of it.
