What if I told you that former Kentucky Wildcats forward Sacha Killeya-Jones had a major impact on the 2019 college basketball national championship? As hard as it is to believe, it’s true.
SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell did a piece on how Killeya-Jones’ recruitment led to Virginia getting the man who would help them win a championship.
Back in 2016, when Virginia Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett was putting together what will now be known as a legendary recruiting class, he only had four scholarships to work with. One for Kyle Guy, one for Ty Jerome, one for Jay Huff, and you guessed it, one for Sacha Killeya-Jones.
