In battle of bluebloods, can UK land the top available post player in the 2018 class?

Following E.J. Montgomery’s decision to call off his commitment to the Auburn basketball program in late September, there were months of relative silence about the status of his recruitment.

He popped up at Clemson and Vanderbilt for unofficial visits, but the 6-foot-10 power forward out of Wheeler High School in Marietta, Ga., didn’t say much about which schools were serious suitors.

The past few weeks have delivered some clarity.

Montgomery — now the top uncommitted post player in the class of 2018 — was on North Carolina’s campus for an unofficial visit Monday night.
