There has been a lot of talk this week about 2014 point guard Dominic Magee. First, there were rumors that Kentucky had offered Magee a scholarship for 2014. Then rumors started circulating that he had not been offered by Kentucky.
Late last night Dominic tried to put those rumors to rest by tweeting out that he definitely does have an offer from Kentucky.

Today Steve Jones had a chance to talk to Dominic’s mom about the situation.
Magee’s mother, Brenda Turner, said her son doesn’t yet have a scholarship offer from UK and the family hasn’t spoken with head coach John Calipari. Assistant Kenny Payne has spoken with Magee’s father and AAU coach to explain the Cats’ interest and how UK operates. Magee, ranked as the No. 66 senior and the No. 15 point guard by 247Sports.com, is also considering Memphis, LSU, Oklahoma State and Kansas State. Rivals.com gives him three stars.
“Believe me, if we felt like Kentucky was too big that our son couldn’t go there and produce or go there and make it, we would have shut the conversation down,” she said. “But we believe our son has that ability and could be that kid who could be one and done. He has that ability, yes.”
I love college recruiting, but it can be tiring at times. I hope this young man gets the offer he wants.
