Montgomery’s AAU coach praises E.J.’s versatility and talks Hagans

Five-star forward E.J. Montgomery didn’t shock the nation by picking Kentucky on Monday, but the timing was a nice surprise for the Big Blue Nation.

The 6-foot-10, 215-pound Georgia native will bring a unique skill set to Lexington. His former AAU coach (Jarvis Hayes) for the Atlanta Celtics (adidas) spoke with Kentucky Sports Radio about Montgomery’s commitment to UK and what he expects to see Montgomery do in Lexington.

And if you’ve had your fill of E.J. Montgomery for one day (you’re crazy if you had) then stay for the Ashton Hagans’ quote at the end. Hagans didn’t play for Hayes or the Atlanta Celtics but he did play on the adidas Circuit against Hayes and the Celtics.
