The biggest UK basketball recruiting development in a week full of them came Tuesday night, when under-the-radar power forward Jaxson Hayes received a scholarship offer during an in-home visit with John Calipari.
“Who?” you might ask.
That’s probably what Calipari himself would have said a few months ago.
Hayes — a 6-foot-10, 195-pound player from Cincinnati — will be a senior this season, and he’s never started a game for his high school team, Archbishop Moeller.
Even at the beginning of the most recent travel season — he played for Twenty Two Vision on the Adidas circuit — Hayes didn’t register on the national recruiting radar.
