How about some intriguing recruiting news to pass the time until tip off? According to Andrew Slater, John Calipari and Kenny Payne will travel to North Carolina tomorrow to watch Jalen Lecque, a five-star combo guard who is considering reclassifying to the 2018 class.
Lecque was originally a 2018 prospect but decided to move to the 2019 class in April. His stock skyrocketed after an impressive summer on the EYBL circuit, and at the John Wall Holiday Invitational in December, he told USA Today’s Jason Jordan he may rejoin the 2018 class.
