Altman Says Payne Was in Lexington

Gary Parrish is confirming through Coach Dana Altman of Oregon that Kenny Payne was in Lexington this weekend.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][QUOTE]Oregon assistant Kenny Payne visited Kentucky this weekend and is a candidate to join John Robic and Orlando Antigua on John Calipari’s staff, Oregon coach Dana Altman told CBSSports.com on Sunday. “Kenny’s really good,” Altman said by phone. “He works hard and does a good job. That’s why Kentucky wants him.”[/QUOTE] Parrish went on to talk about Payne’s relationship with World Wide Wes and Terrence Jones.
[QUOTE]A move by Payne to Kentucky would come as no surprise given that he’s a close friend of William “Worldwide Wes” Wesley, the basketball powerbroker with ties to Calipari. It’s also worth noting that Payne has spent years recruiting Terrence Jones, a Portland native who committed to Kentucky last week. Multiple sources told CBSSports.com that Payne’s probable presence at Kentucky was a factor, though not [I]the[/I] determining factor, in helping the Wildcats lure Jones away from Washington

Looks like this one is going to be official very early this week. Then we can get on to who the next recruit is. Unless there is some recruit we don’t know about, I think we have it narrowed down to 2. More to come on Nation of Blue!!!
