The recruitment of Tyrese Maxey has reached overdrive in recent weeks, thanks in large part to the possibility of a reclassification.
Coming into the spring, all of the public focus was on other recruits UK was strongly in the mix for, including E.J. Montgomery and Ashton Hagans. However, both players have since committed to UK and will be on campus this fall.
Now, John Calipari is working to get Maxey to join them. Calipari has visited the five-star point guard twice in a one-week span hoping to seal this recruitment ASAP.
Calipari is also pushing for Maxey to reclassify into the 2018 class, but that’s not quite a done deal.
