Kofi Cockburn is one of the top big men in the class of 2019, but he won’t be picking the Kentucky Wildcats.
According to Andrew Slater, Cockburn has trimmed his list to eight schools, and Kentucky is not among them. Among the schools that did make the cut were the LSU Tigers, Florida Gators and Kansas Jayhawks.
There are a lot of bigs on Kentucky’s radar in the class of 2019, including James Wiseman, Vernon Carey, and Oscar Tshiebwe. I would lean to say that Wiseman and Carey would be the priority options if John Calipari had his way.
