After a 32-point performance tonight with John Calipari in attendance, junior Archie Goodwin (Sylvania Hills, Ark.) received a scholarship offer from Kentucky.
Goodwin has been reported to love the ‘Cats and this should be one of his personal favorite offers.
“I got the offer from Kentucky,” he told me via text.
Kentucky is one of the top teams for Goodwin, along with Memphis, Missouri, and home-state Arkansas.
The offer has been looming for a couple of weeks now, as Goodwin told me “Calipari guaranteed an offer in the next two weeks” in a previous talk and interview.
“It means a lot to me because I have the option to play for a coach that everyone dreams about playing for,” he stated.
This could be huge for the Class of 2012 recruiting, as Coach Cal has yet to get much from the current-juniors.
However, this may be the start of turning things around.
Be prepared to hear more about Goodwin as summer and AAU ball get closer.
I will post more information as I get it.
