Kentucky has been recruiting Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor for some time now and many have thought they would be a package deal with Justise Winslow.
Kentucky had not offered Winslow, so many have projected the 3 would go to Duke.
That changed today.
Adam Zagoria has reported that Kentucky has now offered the 6’6″ wing from Houston, Texas.
“Calipari basically offered Justise and said that they really were impressed and saw some things in him that really think he’ll be a good fit for their system,” Houston Hoops coach Tim Schumacher told SNY.tv at the Nike Global Challenge at Trinity Washington University.
“So as of Sunday when I talked to Justise and his mom, he was wide open still and willing to consider Kentucky, yeah”
The 6-foot-6 Winslow is now playing with his Houston Hoops team in Las Vegas, although Schumacher said his role would be limited because of how much he has played recently.
Winslow recently cut his list to 10 schools – Arizona, Baylor, Duke, Florida, Houston, Kansas, North Carolina, Stanford, Texas A&M and UCLA.
But his stellar play with the gold-medal winning USA U19 team and at the Peach Jam obviously opened Calipari’s eyes.
