Karter Knox, the younger brother of former Kentucky player turned NBA lottery pick Kevin Knox, is a five-star small forward in the Class of 2024.
Rivals recently caught up with the younger Knox to get an update on his recruiting process.
As expected, Kentucky is heavily in the mix and currently favored to land Knox.
Here is an excerpt from Rivals.com:
ON HIS KENTUCKY OFFICIAL:
“With Kentucky,, I’ve been there so many times that there are never any surprises. It was good, though. It was my first time putting on the jersey and taking pictures and all that. Seeing my brother on his visit taking pictures and all that … Now I’m doing all that. It’s crazy. It’s crazy to even think about.”
ON HOW MUCH HIS BROTHER HELPS HIM DEAL WITH THE PROCESS:
“He helps me a lot, man. His advice is just ‘find the right school for you and go there.’ He always says he isn’t going to force me to go to Kentucky. He’s never going to do any of that. If Kentucky feels right for me, he wants me to go. If there’s another school that feels right, he thinks I should go there.
ON HOW COMFORTABLE HE IS IN LEXINGTON:
“I’ve been there so many times that I’m obviously comfortable. I’ve been going there since I was 12 or something. It feels like my family.”
ON HIS FAVORITE THING ABOUT VISITING KENTUCKY:
“The fans for sure. The fans are crazy. There is nothing like them. They go crazy for Kentucky. There’s nothing else to really get into, so they go crazy for the team.”
Rivals concludes that “it would be a bit of a surprise if Knox landed anywhere but Kentucky, but stranger things have happened in recruiting.”
