Not-so-good updates on Scottie Barnes and Jonathan Kuminga for UK

UK’s chances with Scottie Barnes appear to be fading more and more as the days go by.

The No. 5 overall recruit at 247 Sports was someone the Wildcats were in the mix for early on his recruitment. He was one of the first 2020 recruits to be offered by John Calipari.

However, Barnes has previously said Oregon was his dream school growing up, and the Ducks appear to be the favorites in this recruitment, while UK doesn’t seem like a real contender at all anymore.

Back in May, KSR reported that UK was already falling out of the mix for Barnes.
