Kentucky Basketball recruiting: UK wants Simisola Shittu to visit

The Kentucky Wildcats continue to pursue highly-touted forward Simisola Shittu.

Shittu, the #8 player in the Class of 2018 according to 247 Sports National Composite Rankings, has had quite the summer, racking up other offers from UNC, Ohio State, and Baylor, among others.

Kentucky has watched Shittu several times this summer. That included John Calipari taking a trip with Jamal Murray to Canada to watch Shittu play in a recruiting showcase.

Now, Calipari wants Shittu to visit Lexington, according to Adam Zagoria. There’s no word on when that visit would take place, as Shittu has yet to schedule any official visits this fall.
