"Brady Kennedy is an outstanding addition to our staff. He is hard working, energetic and will be bring exceptional organizational skills specifically in the areas of recruiting & analytics. We’re are excited to welcome him to the Sun Devil basketball family." -- Sun Devil Head Coach Bobby Hurley
Brady Kennedy joined the Sun Devil staff as the Player Personnel, Recruiting and Analytics Coordinator in the summer of 2021 after four seasons at Kentucky.
Kennedy, who was a part of the Kentucky men’s basketball program since 2012, assisted with the day-to-day recruiting operations of the program. His responsibilities included but were not limited to facilitating communication and correspondence efforts for prospective student-athletes, managing the schedule of prospects during on- and off-campus visits, assisting with travel arrangements of the coaching staff for recruiting, and developing marketing ideas to connect with potential future Wildcats.
Kennedy’s primary duties involved the communication and organization of connecting with prospective student-athletes. In addition to managing official and unofficial visits and supervising the staff that makes the travel arrangements for recruits, Kennedy helped connect Kentucky basketball with potential future Wildcats via social media and mass mailings. He also was in charge of creating and updating recruiting lists at the direction of the coaching staff, assisting with idea generations and forecasting program needs, developing, organizing, and preparing evaluation recruiting materials, and developing marketing ideas to generate content targeted for prospective student-athletes.
He played a key part in Kentucky locking up the consensus No. 1 recruiting class in 2020, an important haul for the Wildcats after massive roster losses following the 2020 Southeastern Conference championship season. Kennedy was tasked with continuing to find new and innovative ways to showcase the program during the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kennedy joined the UK men’s basketball program in 2012 as a student manager. During his time as a manager, until 2016, he worked alongside 13 future NBA players. He served in a number of roles, including assisting the coaches in running practices, conducting individual workouts with players before and after practices and games, and charting offensive and defensive statistics during practice.
Over the previous two years, Kennedy served as a video men’s basketball graduate assistant while he earned a master’s degree from UK in kinesiology and health promotions with an emphasis on sports leadership. He filmed practices and games, created edits for the team, organized and prepared scouting reports for the team to watch, and worked closely with the coaching staff to brainstorm and implement analytics.
He also served as a basketball operations intern with the Charlotte Hornets during the summer of 2015.
Kennedy is from Alexandria, Kentucky.
