Texas basketball is no stranger to bringing in high-profile athletes on the recruiting trail, signing the likes of five-star prospects Greg Brown III, Jarrett Allen, Mohamed Bamba, and Myles Turner in recent years.
At Kentucky, though, it’s a whole new animal.
Signing at least three five-star prospects by at least one recruiting service every year since John Calipari arrived in Lexington back in 2009, Kentucky has established itself as the recruiting powerhouse of college basketball. And former Texas assistant coach Jai Lucas is now in charge of it, signing on to become the program’s recruiting coordinator, effective immediately.
