Either Sports Illustrated knows something everyone else doesn’t know or they are just plain out of touch.
Kentucky Basketball fans are hoping they know everything about the recruitment of Jaden McDaniels.
SI says the Cats are the favorite for the elusive McDaniels.
JADEN MCDANIELS
The Favorite: Kentucky. John Calipari made his name in Lexington hauling in one-and-done recruits from John Wall to Karl-Anthony Towns. Recently, however, he’s been out-gunned by Mike Krzyzewski in Durham, as Kentucky’s recruiting class has ranked second to Duke’s in each of the past three years. With the 2019 class, however, Calipari is back on top, and that’s without McDaniels, who might announce his decision Wednesday. The 6’10” McDonald’s All-American has drawn comparisons to former lottery pick Jonathan Isaac. If he joins guard Tyrese Maxey and wings Kahlil Whitney and Keion Brooks, this will surely be Calipari’s best class since 2015 and put the Wildcats in position to reclaim the SEC.Also in the running: Washington, San Diego State, Texas. Kentucky is an unexpected headliner, but these three schools all rate as surprise inclusions. McDaniels is the top prospect from the state of Washington, and his older brother Jalen went to San Diego State. If he lands with Texas, Shaka Smart could have a supersized front court with McDaniels and fellow top-50 prospect Kai Jones.
