The No. 8 player in the class of 2018 (according to the 247 Sports Composite) is about to get a visit from John Calipari.
Simi Shittu, 5-star forward from the Vermont Academy, is going to get a visit from Calipari in the fall recruiting period, which begins on Saturday. Vermont Academy head coach Alex Popp said the school’s first open gym would be on Tuesday, according to Ben Roberts of the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Calipari watched Shittu in July, and Kenny Payne has been at several of his games, but Shittu doesn’t officially have an offer yet.
