Top 2013 recruit Kuran Iverson is a name that Kentucky fans probably aren’t familiar with.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Iverson is a 6’8″ forward from Northwest Catholic High School in Windsor, Connecticut and happens to be a cousin of Allen Iverson.
He is ranked as the #12 overall player in the class of 2013 by ESPN.com.
According to Jeff Borzello of CBSSports.com, Iverson is the opposite of his cousin as he likes to stay out of the spotlight.

It could be attributed to his lack of appearances on the AAU circuit, the fact he plays for a small school in Connecticut, or simply because you don’t know where and when he will show up.
For example, it was rumored he would play with the Long Island Lightning at the Tournament of Champions. On Friday, he wasn’t there. After a flight delay, Iverson appeared on Saturday to help lead the Lightning to the U-16 championship game.
“I haven’t played ball in awhile,” Iverson said.
The 6-foot-8 small forward from Northwest Catholic (Conn.) has sat out most of the spring period to focus on academics. Now, Iverson said his grades are in good shape.
Also in good shape is Iverson’s game. The rising junior is an absolute matchup nightmare due to his size and skillset. He can handle the ball well and is able to knock down perimeter jumpers. Moreover, he is versatile enough to play around the rim and make passes over the defense. Iverson still seems to be growing, which could hamper his ability to run the floor. With that said, his potential might be as high as anyone in the class of 2013.

Iverson lists Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Kentucky, Syracuse, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech and North Carolina.
Lets hope he likes to “practice.”
