Scottie Barnes talks about his recruitment and timeline

Scottie Barnes was the first 2020 recruit to receive a scholarship offer from the Kentucky Wildcats, and it seems the coaching staff continues to show him how big of a priority he is.

Both John Calipari and Kenny Payne attended Barnes’ early morning game on Saturday at the Nike EYBL session in Atlanta. While that is nice and all, what really impressed the rising senior is how long they stayed.

Despite a blowout, 45 point victory, Coach Cal was there from tip to buzzer to watch and support Barnes and his team. Barnes later talked to the Herald-Leader about what that meant to him.
