Another weekend, another all-star high school basketball classic on national television featuring a couple of future Kentucky Wildcats.
Following last week’s McDonald’s All-American Game and GEICO national championships featuring UK signees Keldon Johnson and Immanuel Quickley, the high school basketball programming calendar shifts to the Jordan Brand Classic on Sunday evening.
Johnson — a 6-foot-6 small forward from Oak Hill Academy (Va.) — is on the Jordan Classic roster, and he’ll be joined by fellow UK signee Tyler Herro, who was not selected for the McDonald’s Game.
For many UK fans, this will be the first opportunity to watch Herro, a 6-5 shooting guard from Wisconsin who averaged 32.
