LEXINGTON - Kentucky’s top remaining recruiting target for its 2019-20 roster is set to visit one of the Wildcats’ biggest rivals this weekend.
But as Virginia Tech graduate transfer Kerry Blackshear listens to Rick Barnes’ pitch at Tennessee, there appears to still be hope he might ultimately pick John Calipari and Kentucky for his final season of college. 274Sports director of recruiting Evan Daniels reported earlier this week Blackshear still plans to visit Kentucky after making trips to Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee.
Blackshear’s former AAU coach sees reasons for the 6-foot-10 forward to consider the Wildcats, too, even with former McDonald’s All-Americans EJ Montgomery and Nick Richards returning in the Kentucky frontcourt.
