If you weren’t too careful, you might’ve gotten whiplash following Jordan Burks‘ recruitment and ensuing commitment to the University of Kentucky. One day he’s a new name to keep an eye on, the next he’s on campus with a decision announcement scheduled almost immediately after.

A week after his official visit to Lexington, he was moved into his dorm and officially a Kentucky Wildcat. Take away the brief announcement delay — he pushed back his public commitment five days, June 7 to June 12 — and it was one of the quickest and pain-free recruitments in recent memory.
