Commitment Analysis: Breaking down what to expect from Ashton Hagans

His game: As a 6-foot-4, 190-pound point guard you really can’t ask for a better build or frame for a Calipari guard. Calipari had success with Tyler Ulis and Quade Green did plenty of good things his freshman season, but the Cats prefer long and athletic guards. Hagans fits that mold perfectly. Remember, John Wall was a 6-foot-4, 184-pound guard when he arrived at Kentucky. Only Andrew Harrison was taller/bigger as a point guard as a recruit, but Hagans is significantly quicker and more athletic than Harrison.

So, he passes the paper test. On paper he’s everything Calipari wants in a point guard and he’s likely going to put on more muscle, become faster and who knows if he’s done growing because he’s just a junior in high school.
