Last summer was Peyton Watson’s breakout season. This summer was set to be his chance to explode on the recruiting scene and earn scholarship offers from the blue bloods.
However, his rise through the recruiting rankings has been put on hold due to the coronavirus postponing basketball events for him to participate in. But when basketball returns, college coaches will be keeping a close eye on Watson, Kentucky included.
In fact, the Wildcats have been maintaining constant contact with Watson, according to Cats Pause’s Chris Fisher. The report also says Watson “grew up on Kentucky basketball,” and one of his favorite teams was the 2016-17 team that featured De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk.
