[QUOTE][COLOR=#000000]Goodwin visited UK this month (July) and said
“[B]I loved Kentucky[/B]. I liked it. You can tell they keep everything at a high level for high-level players. … It’s a beautiful facility. You can’t help but love it.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][B]
Was UK a place he could envision himself of playing[/B]?[/COLOR]

“[B]Definitely[/B],” he said. “… I’ve always liked Calipari’s style of play, and I’ve always seen myself as a player who could play for him because I like to get up and down and play basketball like they do.”[/COLOR]

Goodwin doesn’t have a UK offer yet.
“[B](Kentucky is) at the to[/B]p, even though they haven’t offered yet,” he said. “Like I said, they’re a school I really enjoy and really want to go to, and I really like their facility. [B]They’re at the top, yes, sir[/B].”[/COLOR]

“I got to go at Brandon Knight a little bit and a couple of their players,” Goodwin said. “Brandon was very impressive and Terrence Jones. And they got a big dude (Kanter) who dunks everything. He’s a good player.”[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Goodwin’s current list of schools consist of [B]Arkansas, Baylor[/B], Kentucky, [B]Memphis[/B], Mississippi, [B]Missouri State[/B], North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, [B]Tennessee[/B] and Texas A&M according to Scout.com. (Schools in BOLD have offered a scholarship).
