A Fox Sports affiliated site, Sparty and Friends, had a post this evening reporting that word tonight around Florida is that Top 5 recruit and #1 Point Guard in the 2010 Class, Brandon Knight, will announce his intentions to play for the University of Kentucky within the next week. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Posted below is the actual article from the site.
[QUOTE][I]”In a move that will almost assure that he continues his recent streak of great point guards, rumors are flying that Brandon Knight will officially announce his commitment to the University of Kentucky and John Calipari next week. Knight has been rumored to be influenced by William Wesley who has long been tied to John Calipari and past recruits like DaJuan Wagner and Derrick Rose.[/I]
[I]Brandon Knight is the nation’s top recruit according to Rivals.com, the Gatorade National Player of the Year, and averaging 31.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and three steals at the Pine Crest School in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. And those looking at him as another kid just using college to skip to the NBA? He’s maintained a 4.3 GPA, while taking Pine Crest, a school that has had zero basketball success to the state finals.[/I]
[I]In other news, Florida was really banking their recruiting class on this kid, leaving Gator fans lost in a sea of madness looking for a new hope to rescue the former Championship program.[/I]
[I]Hard to argue with Cal’s result though. Rose and Tyreke Evans were both top draft picks after one year of school, and John Wall is sure to follow.”[/I][/QUOTE]This rumor adds to the several that have floated around for the past few days, mainly that Knight was down to UK and Florida and would commit to the Wildcats. As of now Cats fans cannot only sit and hope.
