I love the top of the 2020 class. Just seems like 3-5 kids with next-level ability. Mobley, Green, and this kid for sure, maybe a few others.

We're overdue to get 1. 2 would be the equivalent of the Wall/Cousins, AD/MKG hauls. Doesn't seem likely (especially since Mobley is a USC lock), but we can dream.

From what I have read from a recent interview, I think he's a strong Duke lean.

Well if we do get another one, the State of Wisconsin will ban all cheese exports to Kentucky forever.

Kid is awesome, glad Cal is showing him as a priority. Regardless where you all think he is leaning, this is why Cal is paid the big bucks. He is a tireless worker, how get him.Cal!
Wisconsin is putting out some ballers. That Wiscy lost may have a silver lining

Yeah I've heard that for about a year now.
The question is who's a UK lean in 2020?
Brakefield maybe but he's not considered elite

A lot of offers out for 2020 (which is a great class) but not many (yet) who seem to be likely for UK.

Cunningham, Roach, Dante, Todd are about it in the top 20 that are even considering UK right now.

Yea but bet we have a top 10 roster. He will get his guys and we will be really good just like 8 out of 10 years.

Cade Cunningham being at Montverde is an issue with UK. HIs CB has a lot to do with things prior to him leaving HS to go to Montverde.

Keep an eye on Terrence Clarke and Jonathan Kuminga to possibly reclass. Know Clarke is expected to due to his age--he's at Brewster Academy now--and Kuminga is considered by many to be one of the top 3 prospects in the country no matter what class you evaluate. Both have visited (Clarke for BBM and Kuminga was at Arkansas game I believe).

As always new names/stronger interest emerges after Spring/Summer Evaluations but I'd expect UK to track Sharife Cooper, BJ Boston, Jalen Johnson, Jeremy Roach, Dalen Terry/Daishen Nix, they'll keep tabs on Jalen Cone, Jalen Suggs is someone they quietly have stayed heavily involved with but his recruitment is chaotic (not anything illegal just a lot going on) with the Football angle. Jalen Green has the Memphis connection with Sam Mitchell and now he's gone to Prolific Prep--he may become less of an option--that place is a cesspool, but we'll have to wait and see how AAU season unfolds. As you can see, PG is going to be a major priority.

I'd take Kuminga and Clarke over anyone available in the '19 class now, and Kuminga could start for UK now. He's going to be a special player. Clarke is a warrior. They have been very receptive to the UK program and what it's about.

We have a few including Todd who is a top 10 player. Although this early to talk about leans is silly as remember Zion and Trae young were strong UK leans at this point in previous years. UK will get theirs like always. We have never not had a top 2 class in Cal's 10 years . No one can even begin to say that . Zona was the team who battled us for it cal's first few years and now Duke does ( though their class so far this year leaves a lot to be desired ) .

I really like this kid BJ Boston from Norcross, GA for 2020. We had a pretty good one from Norcross in the past. Reminds me of Prince. Seems like it could be the typical Dook vs UK battle, but man I like the idea of him and Sharife Copper together at UK, both from GA and both Top 20 guys. Love Johnson too, but man I really like watching this kid Boston.

We know that Cal has not had a recruiting class ranked worse than number two . We also know he hasn't been getting his first choice of players . We also know our seasons haven't been what they were when Cal was getting his top targets.

Totally agree on both Kuminga and Clarke. Very special players, elite... Clarke is very mature for 16yo...has that very high basketball IQ, eLEet indeed

I'm really trying to be objective here. I don't understand what the draw to Duke is for these kids, vs. Kentucky. Besides the payouts which we all know is going on, I don't get it. When you compare the two...coaches, practice and training facilities, name recognition, NBA future, legendary status of school, fan base...I just don't get it. I am trying g to get in these kids head and I don't see it. It should be a no brainer. What am I missing? What have I overlooked?
