It’s been a wild two weeks on the recruiting trail for Kentucky basketball, and that’s putting it lightly.
In the span of nine days, Kennedy Chandler committed to Tennessee, Paolo Banchero shockingly picked Duke, Kentucky offered a pair of recruits in Hunter Sallis and Bryce Hopkins, while Nolan Hickman came out of nowhere to pick the Wildcats.
You probably hadn’t heard of Hickman prior to Saturday’s surprise pledge to Kentucky, but this is a recruitment the Wildcats were apparently heavily involved in dating back to this past spring.
