Predictions are useless until something happens, but nonetheless,pretty much everywhere you look, people seem to think Kyle Filipowski is Duke-bound.
But you don't get to where John Calipari is today without trying, and on Monday he offered Filipowski a scholarship.
Would he bite? Maybe. It’s really hard to know what anyone else’s priorities are, much less an 18-year-old who is getting courted by everyone in the country now.
And of course NIL changes things. Kentucky, being in Lexington, where pulling for any other program can get you some heat (and pulling for Duke might get you run out of town), will allow athletes and especially basketball players to make some major money (although in fairness, BBN has helped Kentucky basketball players get rich for decades).
