Often the most competitive of the high school all-star games that pepper the national TV landscape this time of year, the Nike Hoop Summit returns to Portland, Ore., on Friday night with plenty of players for UK fans to keep an eye on.
The game — which will be shown live at 10 p.m. on ESPN2 — features four future Kentucky Wildcats and two more five-star seniors who are still considering UK, as well as the No. 1 sophomore in the country, a player the Cats are already recruiting.
The two prospects UK is most interested in right now are Mohamed Bamba and Kevin Knox, both top-10 players in the class of 2017 who will represent the Team USA side in Friday’s game.
