Kentucky Basketball Recruiting Targets Take Stage at Nike EYBL Atlanta

Several targets amongst Kentucky basketball’s recruiting cycle took the floor in Nike EYBL’s latest event Atlanta from May 11-13.

The massive 8-court complex of the LakePoint Sports Champions Center hosted 18 different teams from Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League containing the top high school players from across the country.

Among those were 2019 Kentucky commit Tyrese Maxey, who averaged 22.5 points over four games during the weekend. When he wasn’t playing in games, Maxey was styling a noticeably-blue Kentucky shirt around and doing his part to help John Calipari out with recruiting.

“Oh yeah I am,” Maxey said when asked if he was doing any recruiting there.
