Yesterday CBSSports.com’s Jeff Borzello tweeted that Kentucky Target has two schools in the lead for his services. Unfortunately the two schools that stand out to Alex the most are Duke and Vanderbilt.
Yes Duke has stood out to him, putting even more fire on “CoachKgate” where the Duke leader supposedly illegally contacted the talented small forward between tournaments in Orlando this past summer. The only other incident that remotely resembles this was when coach Calipari said “He really liked Anthony Bennett” A violation due to the fact that coaches aren’t allowed to talk about potential recruits.
Still it will be interesting to see if Coach Calipari and company can make up the ground on both Duke and Vandy. Academically those schools have an advantage so if that’s the force ultimately driving Alex’s recruitment Kentucky might be out of the running sooner rather than later.
