At one point in time, Trae Young to Kentucky almost seemed like a lock.
The five-star point guard seemed all but certain to be the next point guard for the Wildcats. He was Calipari’s first offer in the 2017 class, which typically means that person is one of the top targets.

And in a recent article, Matt Norlander of CBS Sports writes what many in the Big Blue Nation had suspected: Young was very close to becoming a Wildcat.
