In the last two weeks, John Calipari has missed on his top two prospects in the class of 2019, both of which are big men. There is a lot of speculation out there about who he can go after to fill the gap if other targets fall through, and now there is another name to add to the list.
Five-star power forward Jaemyn Brakefield, the No. 18 player in the 2020 class according to 247 Sports composite rankings, has been pretty open about the possibility of reclassifying to 2019. He confirmed that possibility when talking to Rivals’ Corey Evans this weekend.
