It looks like Simi Shittu is still someone being recruited by the Kentucky Wildcats.
UK has previously expressed interest in Shittu, but there hasn’t been much reported on that interest since May. That appears to be changing in a hurry.
According to Adam Zagoria, John Calipari checked in with Shittu recently and expressed excitement over the five-star forward. Zagoria also writes that UK assistant coach Kenny Payne is expected to watch Shittu this weekend at a CIA Bounce event in Brampton, Ontario.
Calipari called Vermont Academy coach Alex Popp as well as Shittu’s mother.
