Kentucky head coach John Calipari has made it clear that 2021 four-star point guard TyTy Washington is at or near the top of his wish list when it comes to filling the 2021-22 backcourt, reaching out immediately after his decommitment from Creighton on March 11 and offering the consensus top-35 prospect on April 13. Now with a scholarship offer on the table, UK has jumped into the conversation as a serious option in his recruitment.
Just how serious? KSR spoke with AZ Compass Prep head coach Ed Gipson on Wednesday to discuss his standout guard’s recruitment, Kentucky’s growing interest and offer, his game and what he’s like off the floor, among other topics.
