[B][I]What made Kentucky a good fit for you?
[/I][/B]It was Coach Cal in general. I love Coach Cal, and the players that will be going there with me Anthony Davis, Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer, who is on the World Team.

[B][I]What made Kentucky a good fit for you?
[/I][/B]I just felt like they play my style of basketball – get up and down the floor, pressure you on defense – and I felt like Coach Cal was the best fit for me.

[B][I]What made Kentucky a good fit for you?
[/I][/B]The coaching staff and the way they play are just great, and the school as a whole was awesome, too. Coach Cal has a lot of accolades under his name, so that made it even better.
