Given the name brand Kentucky Basketball is, it’s not uncommon to hear top recruits call Kentucky their “dream school”, however, that doesn’t always equate to a commitment.
With that said, that was the case for former Kentucky Wildcats star Tyrese Maxey. Last week, Maxey went on The Old Man & The Three podcast with former NBA guard and now analyst, JJ Reddick, and spoke on his recruitment and one season at Kentucky.
Why did Maxey pick Kentucky? Given the success of former Kentucky guards in the NBA, Reddick asked Maxey if John Calipari had shown him a list of names to help convince him to commit.
