Kentucky set to visit No. 2 prospect Dereck Lively II on Thursday

John Calipari isn’t slowing down on the recruiting trail anytime soon. Immediately after picking up a commitment from No. 1 overall prospect Shaedon Sharpe, the UK coaching staff has scheduled an in-person visit with No. 2 recruit Dereck Lively II.

Kentucky is set to visit the 7-foot-2 center when off-campus recruiting restrictions are lifted Thursday morning. UK joins Penn State, Michigan and Duke to have in-person visits scheduled this week at Lively’s school, Westtown High School.

Kentucky will be the first to visit Lively on Thursday, followed by Penn State later in the day. Michigan will be in Friday, followed by Duke on Saturday.
