Kentucky might be close to adding a key player for the Class of 2016.
De’Aaron Fox, who is widely regarded as the top point guard in the class, will announce his college decision Thursday night on ESPNU’s Recruiting Nation: Basketball Signing Day Special. That show will air at 6:00 p.m. ET.
Fox has a final list of Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas and LSU. Most recruiting experts think he will choose the Cats.
Here is an excerpt from Ben Roberts of Kentucky.com:
Fox — the No. 1 point guard in the class of 2016 — has narrowed his college choices to Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas and Louisiana State. He visited UK for last month’s Big Blue Madness and is widely expected to announce his commitment to the Wildcats on Thursday.
“I don’t think much has changed,” said Scout.com director of recruiting Evan Daniels. “I think Kentucky has been the frontrunner for quite some time, and it’s just been about De’Aaron settling on that choice and feeling 100 percent comfortable with it and then going out and pulling the trigger.
“I fully expect that he picks Kentucky on Thursday.”
