Kentucky "coming on strong" with Josh Green

[GonzoCat90]

Allow me a second to celebrate. Those of you who read the recruiting threads know I've been clamoring for this kid for months.

Absolutely love his game, and he just got a huge (and deserved) bump in the rankings.

He's a perfect Cal guard-- versatile, strong, can guard multiple spots, plays hard, rebounds, and can score at all three levels.

Really hope we stay in the thick of this one. Chatter seems to be that a Carolina offer would be well received. He'd be a monster in Roy's system for multiple years.

I'm not premium either, but my guess is that it says Josh Green has had a great spring/summer, that Kentucky hasn't offered yet, that currently he's hearing from Kansas/UCLA the most, but that Kentucky and other big names are about to get involved heavily.

So does Cal, and I bet this guy knows it.

I do too, and he'd be a perfect 3 for us next season. Think Shabazz Muhammad with passing skills and a good attitude.

Both parents were pros, and he's been at IMG working like a maniac.

He also played well at the Hoop Summit this year despite being six months younger than RJ Barrett.

Put him with Maxey and Anthony (or Lewis) with forwards like McDaniels and Jeffries and then Wiseman in the middle and that's a physical, versatile, talented team on both ends.

Want this to happen, need some players in this class. Kid is the perfect Cal player, like Gonzo said, he is Shabazz/ Josh Langford type..

This is from over a year ago but i like what I hear. Sounds like he’d give Kentucky consideration and would like to be recruited by cal, so i like our chances. Have no idea if people think he has a favorite or not, but if it’s wide open, I’d say Cal has a good shot after these comments from the kid, Evan late as last year.

Same AAU program that Jemarl Baker played with--Earl Watson Elite.

Also interesting that UK is actively recruiting Green and '20 Noah Farrakhan of IMG after hearing they had "bad relationship" with the program down there.
