Freshman Kahlil Whitney was all about Kentucky. Whitney did an interview with NBC Sports Chicago back in 2016 where he was all about John Calipari and the Wildcats.
“I want to go to Kentucky,” Whitney said. “I hope to get an offer from them if I blow up [summer of 2016].
“I like Coach Calipari. He’s a great coach. You can display your talent at the highest level and I just love the atmosphere there for games.”
That offer never came for Whitney in 2016 and it would take two full years before John Calipari finally recruited and watched Whitney.
