I had a chance to speak to newly named Kentucky recruit Ryan Rhoomes Thursday evening and got to ask him about his recruitment. Ryan is a 6’8″ power forward from Queens, NY. Ryan did not give me his college list as he said he Mother was taking care of his recruitment. I wanted to find out a little about what Ryan thought of Kentucky’s basketball program.
One of the first questions I asked Ryan was what he thought about Kentucky. Ryan said, [I]”They had a real great team, and I think they would have a good impact on me and my game.” [/I]
I also wandered how big an impact it would be to move from Queens to Lexington and could location play a part in picking a school. Rhoomes was pretty firm in his answer in saying[I] “It wouldn’t be because i know i have a goal and i wont let nothing that simple get in the way.”[/I]
Ryan also spoke of playing with one of the new Kentucky recruits this past weekend. [I]”Yeah i know Deron[/I](Lamb), Rhoomes said,[I] I just got finished playing with him in is8 Sunday.”[/I]
It also looks as if Rhoomes could still end up being a 2010 recruit even though he is planning to attend Prep School in the Fall.
[QUOTE]Benjamin Cardozo High School’s (New York) Ryan Rhoomes plans to head to prep school for year. However, he may make a decision on what college he’ll end up at before he takes off for prep school. [/QUOTE]

Could be interesting to see if Rhoomes decides on his college choice before he goes to prep school. Maybe he will pick Louisville, then we will know for sure he will go to Kentucky.
