Scottie Barnes trims list and Kentucky makes the cut

Scottie Barnes is a consensus top-five basketball recruit in the 2020 class, ranked as high as No. 3 by many recruiting outlets. He is also a priority on Kentucky’s big board for that class, and he just cut his list to eight schools that he will be considering for his college basketball career.

That includes the Kentucky Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils, Oregon Ducks and Kansas Jayhawks among others:
