2012 big man Ricardo Gathers provided some fairly interesting comments when asked about Kentucky by Jeremy Bauman from FiveStarBasketball.com.
When asked about the schools currently showing interest in him, he mentioned Kentucky, but qualified the statement by saying, “they say they’re showing some interest, but I haven’t really heard from them yet.”
Gathers went on to say that Kentucky hadn’t yet offered him, but he was “kind of waiting on it.”
The fact that Kentucky hasn’t shown Gathers a ton of interest isn’t terribly surprising given their preoccupation with fellow 2012 big men Anthony Bennett and Tony Parker. Still, the fact that Gathers is waiting on a call from Kentucky is nothing but positive news for the Wildcats.
Gathers isn’t quite on the level of Anthony Bennett or Tony Parker, but he wouldn’t be a bad backup plan. The former St. John’s commitment is a big-bodied, physical player, who provides a proficient scoring option from 15 feet and in.
