One week ago, back on Wednesday, June 20th, Kerry Blackshear Jr. from Virginia Tech was on campus visiting Kentucky. During the visit, murmurs spread: Hey, I think we’re getting Blackshear. The visit is going really well, think we’ll have a commitment by the end of the week. Comments of that nature were spewing from the behind-the-scenes faces of Kentucky basketball. Heck, even the dude that runs the official UK Athletics Twitter account followed Blackshear. Real important stuff, guys. Kentucky was going to land Blackshear…until they didn’t. Until Tennessee was the favorite, and then Virginia Tech players started chirping with some confidence, and then, out of nowhere, the mysterious big man silently committed to Florida, officially launching the 2020 Florida Basketball Hype Train.
