2020 four-star forward and in-state prospect JJ Traynor is set to make his college decision.

Late last night, the 6-foot-8, 180-pound forward out of Bardstown, KY posted on his Instagram story that he is committing “this week.”

Traynor, the No. 77 overall prospect in the 2020 247Sports player rankings, currently holds offers from Louisville, Cincinnati, and WKU, among others.

So why is this news significant to Kentucky fans?

Because it likely means UK will not be the choice.

During the fall recruiting period, Kentucky assistant coach Kenny Payne drove out to Bardstown at 6:00 a.
