The Courier-Journal’s Jon Hale has listed all the top targets for Kentucky Basketball this summer.
I have higlighted the one target that could still be in the 2019 class if he decides to reclassify after the Peach Jam.
N’Faly Dante
High school: Sunrise Christian (Kansas)247Sports Composite national ranking: 12
247Sports Composite position ranking: 3
AAU team: Mokan Elite (Nike)
What to know: If Calipari does make one final addition to the 2019-20 roster, Dante looks like the last realistic option. He’s still listed as a 2020 recruit but has been widely rumored to be considering a move to 2019 in order to enroll at a college this fall. He recently took an official visit to Kentucky. The Wildcats reportedly had ground to make up on LSU and Oregon entering the trip, but with Virginia Tech grad transfer Kerry Blackshear picking Florida there are minutes available in the UK front court this season. The 7-footer would be a valuable defensive weapon immediately this fall but might need some time to develop his offensive game. Expect a news about his reclassification decision after the Nike EYBL’s Peach Jam tournament this week.
