After decommitting from N.C. State in March, Dillingham, who attends Kanye West’s Donda Academy in California, has been hearing from Kentucky and several other high-major programs.
“I haven’t been on any visits or unofficial visits yet, but I plan to take some next month,” he said. “Some of the main schools recruiting me are Kentucky, Auburn, Arkansas and Kansas.”
In the Class of 2023, Kentucky has a commitment from Reed Sheppard and is also battling with Louisville for D.J. Wagner, the No. 1 prospect in the class.
For Dillingham and CP3 they have unfinished business this spring and summer.
“We are trying to win it Peach Jam, because we could’ve won it last year and we know that,” he said.
Along with winning Peach Jam, Dillingham wants to improve going forward.
“This spring and summer I’m really just looking to becoming a better player and get ready for college,” he said. “Then looking forward to playing with the nice dudes on my team, too. That’s really the main goal along with Peach Jam.”
