“After they offered, Coach Cal or one of his assistants were always at one of my games. Kentucky was my dream school,” Whitney told ESPN. “Growing up in Chicago, I remember watching John Wall, Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Tyler Ulis. Coach Cal is a great person and a great coach.”
While on his visit Whitney met and spoke with former UK guard Isaiah Briscoe. Whitney attends Roselle Catholic in New Jersey where Briscoe played before enrolling at Kentucky. Sources close to the program say the two talked about Roselle and what it takes to play at Kentucky.
