Rashad Vaughn returned from injury yesterday at the Hoophall Classic in Springhill, Mass. with Kentucky’s John Calipari and Orlando Antigua in attendance as he scored 12 points off the bench as Findlay Prep beat Wesleyan Christian (NC) 73-44.
Vaughn picked a good time for his return, as Kentucky head coach John Calipari and assistant coach Orlando Antigua arrived at halftime to watch Vaughn. Iowa State had assistant coach Matt Abdelmassih there for Vaughn.
“It was fun,” Vaughn said of seeing Calipari. “I talked to him a couple days ago, he told me was going to come out.”
Vaughn is trying to plan a visit to Kentucky soon, but the only trip set right now is one to North Carolina next month.
“I just like both of the coaches,” he said. “They’re genuine guys. [I like] both of their styles of play.”
In addition to those two programs, Iowa State and UNLV are also squarely in the mix for Vaughn. Kansas is on his list as well, although the Jayhawks are pursuing JaQuan Lyle and also might see Wayne Selden return for his sophomore season.
