Immanuel Quickley was once a forgotten man in UK’s 2018 class. However, it’s become clear recently that the five-star guard should not be slept on going into the 2018-19 season.
Initially, Quickley looked like a guy who could end up behind Ashton Hagans, Quade Green and Keldon Johnson in the battle for playing time at the 1-3 spots. Then came an ESPN article that actually called Quickley UK’s most exciting player from the 2018 class.
It seemed like an odd choice at the time, but perhaps it was right on the mark based on what John Calipari is saying.
