Kentucky gaining steam in recruitment of VJ Edgecombe

John Calipari is hoping to continue building his monster 2024 class by securing a commitment in 5-star guard VJ Edgecombe.

Calipari and assistant coach Orlando Antigua were in to visit the 6-foot-4 guard from Nassau, New York, on Thursday night. This came after the two coaches watched Edgecombe play during the previous week, so that’s two trips in about a one-week span to watch the talented guard.

For much of Edgecombe’s recruitment, St. John’s and Duke were seen as the teams to beat.

However, Kentucky has been making a furious push for the guard, and it appears to be paying off based on what Jack Pilgrim and Trilly Donovan are saying.
