Kentucky Basketball: It was Tony Barbee who allegedly didn’t handle DJ Jeffries’ decommitment well

DJ Jeffries’ father, Corey Jeffries, has been dishing dirt left and right this week, making more headlines than his son. On Tuesday, he revealed who the Kentucky coach was that didn’t act “professional” when his son decommitted from Kentucky.

“it wasn’t Cal that took it so bad,” Corey Jeffries said, according to Mark Giannotto of the Commercial Appeal. “It was the main recruiter (assistant coach Tony Barbee).”

Barbee was the lead recruiter on Jeffries. The four-star recruit’s father also talked about why his son decommitted from the Kentucky Wildcats: There were no coaches watching him at the end of the July live period in Las Vegas.
