Just when you thought the 2013 class couldn’t get anymore stacked with talent, one of the top 2014 recruits decides to reclassify.
Kentucky recruit Wayne Selden has decided to change it up and graduate a year early, which in my opinion makes the possibility of the 2013 Kentucky class the most unheralded class of all time.
Here is an excerpt from ESPNBoston with quotes from Wayne and his mother:

Selden, ranked No. 12 overall in the Class of 2014, will be rated 20th in the Class of 2013. When he left the John D. O’Bryant School in Boston to attend Tilton School two years ago, his family wasn’t sure how he was going to handle the change in academics. Tilton is a college prep school in New Hampshire.[/FONT][/COLOR]

“I was the one who wanted him to reclassify when he left the O’Bryant school in Boston,” said Lavette Pitts, Selden’s mother. “I wanted to make sure he could do the work academically and have the educational confidence one needs in a new setting. It was never for basketball.”[/FONT][/COLOR]

As soon as a formal request is in place, the school will review it. No one anticipates any problems.[/FONT][/COLOR]

“Wayne is a strong student and has enough credits to get back into his original class,” Tilton School coach Marcus O’Neil said. “He has adapted very well academically here at Tilton.”
