The Nike EYBL is taking place in Atlanta this weekend, and there are several top recruits taking part, particularly in the 2020 class. So now that they have turned most of their focus to the rising high school seniors, you know that the Kentucky Wildcats coaching staff is well represented.
John Calipari, Tony Barbee, Joel Justus and Kenny Payne are all in Atlanta right now. Early on Friday, both Calipari and Barbee were locked in a matchup that included top Kentucky targets RJ Hampton and Cade Cunningham. There is a lot of buzz that Hampton could reclassify to the 2019 class, but he has said he will not consider that until the EYBL summer season is finished.
