Never one to just sit at home on a Wednesday night, John Calipari is back on the recruiting trail. According to Jake Weingarten, Calipari will watch five-star forward Paolo Banchero tonight in Seattle, Washington. Banchero’s O’Dea squad takes on Eastside Catholic in the Metro League Tournament Semifinals at 5 p.m. PT.
Banchero is the No. 4 player in the 2021 class, but there are still rumors he could reclassify to 2020. A Tennessee assistant is also expected to be in attendance tonight, while Gonzaga’s Mark Few watched Banchero put up over 30 points in O’Dea’s win over West Seattle on Monday.
