Calipari recently had a recruiting trip to Texas for an in home visit with recruit De’Aaron Fox, the #1 PG in the Class of 2016.
What should have been a standard run-of-the-mill recruiting trip turned into a night that one lucky University of Kentucky basketball fan will never forget.
Seth Barnett, a 16 year old junior at Cypress Lakes High School, was born in Kentucky and moved to Texas about month old. Both parents grew up in Magoffin County and Seth, who has cerebral palsy, grew up a Wildcats fan.
De’Aaron and his coach asked if Seth would like to come to De’Aaron’s house that night and meet Calipari.
