It’s been less than a week since five-star basketball prospect Kahlil Whitney received a coveted scholarship offer from Kentucky, but it’s already becoming apparent how this recruitment is likely to end.
Whitney — a 6-foot-6 wing from Chicago, now attending Isaiah Briscoe’s old high school in New Jersey — was one of the top scorers on the Nike circuit this spring and has quickly emerged as one of John Calipari’s top recruiting targets in the class of 2019.
Still just 17 years old, Whitney already checks many of the boxes that Calipari looks for in his wing players.
