The recruitment of EJ Montgomery is one of the biggest offseason storylines for Kentucky Basketball.
The five-star power forward is arguably the best uncommitted player going into the spring signing period. He’s ranked as high as No. 6 overall by 247 Sports, so it’s no surprise to see the best college programs are in the running for him.
Duke is believed to be the favorite, but both North Carolina and Kentucky are strongly in the mix as well. During McDonald’s All-American Week, those were the three schools that various recruits predicted Montgomery would pick.
Rivals reporter Woody Wommack interviewed a host of recruits to see who they thought would land Montgomery, and Duke commit Tre Jones actually picked Kentucky.
