One time UK target Kira Lewis Jr. has committed to Alabama and will reclassify to the class of 2018. The 6-foot-3, 160-pound guard trimmed his list just over a week ago but picked Alabama over 11 other schools that featured Kansas, Auburn, Providence, LSU, Ole Miss, Iowa State, Baylor, Indiana, Houston, Georgia and TCU. The Cats didn’t make that cut but UK didn’t watch much of Lewis this summer and contact had been limited since he visited UK a few months ago.
But the big news here is that Lewis Jr. will be enrolling at Alabama for this season.
