Who is Next for Kentucky Basketball?

Now that Kentucky Basketball and John Calipari added another 5 star recruit today, now the question is who is next.

Jerry Meyer of 24/7 Sports looks at all the possibilities:


De’Aaron Fox

Coach John Calipari appears to be in a great position to land No. 1 ranked point guard De’Aaron Fox. Kansas and Louisville are also strong with Fox, but a commitment to Kentucky while on his official visit October 16 would not come as a surprise.

Kentucky has a large lead of Kansas in his Crystal Ball.

Malik Monk

Also within tantalizing reach of the Wildcats is No. 1 ranked combo guard Malik Monk. Out of Bentonville, Arkansas, Monk is in a tug-of-war between Arkansas and Kentucky. Monk’s older brother Marcus Monk played both basketball and football for Arkansas. But the lure of playing for a national championship caliber team at Kentucky might very well be enough to pull Monk out of Arkansas.

Arkansas, however, leads Kentucky in the Crystal Ball.

Meyer also talks about Miles Bridges, Kobi Simmons, Rawle Alkins, Harry Giles, and Marcus Bolden.
