Back to the Kentucky Wildcats Newsfeed

Fringe five-star guard TyTy Washington is built for Kentucky: “He’s a dog, a bonafide dog.”

Immediately following TyTy Washington’s decommitment from Creighton back on March 11, Kentucky assistant coach Jai Lucas picked up the phone and made it clear that if the four-star senior guard was hitting reset in his recruitment, the Wildcats wanted to throw their hat in the ring. The program’s young, up-and-coming recruiter reached out to both parents and even extended family – Washington’s uncle Greg Moody was also contacted by Lucas – in hopes of getting the ball rolling.

And when Kentucky comes calling, “you’re definitely going to listen,” AZ Compass Prep head coach Ed Gipson told KSR on Wednesday.
