Big-time basketball prospect visiting UK this weekend (and other recruiting notes)

A very important game for the Kentucky Wildcats this weekend will also include a very important visitor behind the UK bench.

Five-star point guard Tyrese Maxey is scheduled to be in Lexington on Saturday afternoon for a recruiting visit centered on the Cats’ home game against Alabama.

Maxey — a 6-foot-3 prospect from Dallas, Texas — is the only player in the recruiting class of 2019 classified as a point guard with a scholarship offer from UK.

He’s the No. 13 overall player in that class — and the No. 2 point guard nationally — according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
