LEXINGTON – When five-star forward Jaden McDaniels picked Washington over Kentucky earlier this week, the Wildcats lost their final target in the 2019 recruiting class.
That does not mean coach John Calipari is finished adding to the 2019-20 roster though. While he waits for Nick Richards and EJ Montgomery to make their NBA draft decisions, Calipari continues to monitor the graduate transfer market as well as current Class of 2020 recruits who might be in position to graduate a year early this summer and reclassify to 2019.
