Malik Newman spoke about his in home visit with Kentucky and there is a little bit of breaking news.
It sounds like Drake may be at Big Blue Madness.
This from the Clarion-Ledger:
Kentucky
Calipari has landed some of the nation’s top talent since he arrived at Kentucky in 2009 and hopes to do the same with Newman.
His track record for recruiting five-star prospects stands on its own, and the type of players that Newman could play with in a year will develop his game even further.
“That’s the difference between going there and going to another school,” Newman said. “You would have more of the top-10 guys around you. I think less is more at Kentucky.”
With Newman’s goal of spending one year in college before entering the 2016 NBA Draft, Calipari demonstrated his proven ability to put players in the league in a short amount of time.
“He said his goal is to let us accomplish our dream and help me the best way he can,” the guard said.
While Newman hasn’t narrowed down his list yet, one factor that could help aid in that process is visiting a school for Midnight Madness.
One of his favorite artists potentially headlining UK’s Big Blue Madness piques his interest.
“(Calipari) said Drake might come this year,” Newman said. “That would be a really good event to go to. It really lets me know what they’re working with and that (Kentucky) has a lot of connections.”
The UK coach also has a two-day on-campus scouting combine for NBA executives to evaluate his team on Oct. 11-12. It’s a huge recruiting ploy for the Wildcats and would be even bigger if Newman visited during the event.
