Chris Hill, 6’8″ shooting guard from Raleigh,North Carolina is listed on [URL=”http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Chris-Hill-61850″]Rivals.com[/URL] as a 3 star recruit. If you watched the [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/don-t-forget-about-chris-hill-899/”]video I posted earlier,[/URL] his is a very athletic 3 star.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]I spoke with Chris about his recruitment last night and I asked him to name his list of college choices. Chris list includes Wake Forest, South Florida, UConn, West Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia. He also named his top 3 choices as 1. Kentucky 1a. Memphis 3. Oregon.
I also asked how his school work was going to gain clearance from the NCAA Clearinghouse. Chris was a very polite kid who was really enthusiastic about getting his school work complete and to finish strong in the classroom going into the Summer. Chris told me that he hopes to find out if he is cleared by the Clearinghouse in 3 weeks. If everything goes well, and he seemed confidant it would, he will announce his college choice on May 6.
We also talked about his recruitment with Kentucky and said he speaks to Coach Orlando Antigua on a regular basis and also has spoken with Scott Padgett and Coach Calipari. Chris said he has a great relationship with the coaching staff and probably will be [B]coming to the Craft Center for pickup games next week.[/B]
Sounds like Kentucky is recruiting Chris Hill pretty hard and if everything goes well with the academic side of things, he could end up being a Cat May 6th or later into the summer, depending on when he is cleared.
Chris also spoke highly of Kentucky fans and said his facebook is getting close to capacity with all of the friend requests, which are mostly from the Bluegrass State. Chris wanted me to pass on his twitter account to keep up with him. You can follow Chris Hill on [URL=”http://twitter.com/JuiC3HiLL22″]@Juic3Hill22.[/URL]
I will have updates on Chris Hill’s recruitment throughout the process so stay with Nation of Blue to stay informed.
