On Monday morning, 247 Sports recruiting guru Evan Daniels broke the story that international basketball star Kai Sotto would take an unofficial visit to the University of Kentucky.
In the Bluegrass, that news was met with curiosity. No school has media which cover college basketball recruiting quite as aggressively as Kentucky does, and no fanbase has a better pulse for who their coaching staff is interested in, and where that player’s recruitment stands, than Kentucky fans do.
Therefore, for a player like Sotto — a 2020 prospect who could play college basketball next year — to pop up out of nowhere, certainly created intrigue within the fan-base.
