As you may know (or may not know), August 1st was the first day for coaches call to set up visits after evaluating players during July’s live periods. If a coach really wants a player, he will call him August 1st and set up for a visit sometime in August or early September so the player knows he is a priority for a program.
On August 1st after watching Wings Elite, Archie Goodwin’s AAU team, play their final game, I got the chance to hang out with Archie and a friend from hoopmixtape.com. Yes, he is strongly considering Kentucky, and no, he will not be making a decision any time soon.
But when I was talking to him something funny happened, his phone rang. “Hold on guys, it’s Coach Cal,” he said.
John Calipari called him five minutes after his game ended, and while it’s a mystery how he knew that the game was over, it’s no mystery that Coach Cal has Archie Goodwin pegged as one of his top priorities this year.
