Cole Anthony appears to be the latest top-level recruit to be legitimately linked to Kentucky, and that is all credited to UK commit Tyrese Maxey.
Maxey said in a recent interview that he had been recruiting Anthony to Kentucky while at an EYBL event. Turns out, the two happen to be good friends and are now teammates on the USA 18U National Team.
They aren’t disclosed to the idea of potentially playing together beyond this tournament either, as they both spoke about it with KSR after the USA’s 118-26 win over Panama.
“Down at the Final Four we talked a lot then,” Maxey said.
