Preseason Conversation: Immanuel Quickley compares John Calipari to his mother

That’s why Immanuel Quickley’s recruitment was a breath of fresh air. He took visits and had a list, but he was as honest as a recruit could be during his recruitment. He talked leaders and ignored building up drama.

He also didn’t want the schools that missed out on him waiting until the spring unsure if they were landing a five-star point guard, so once he knew he wanted to commit to UK that’s exactly what Quickley did.

Quickley said the first time he knew the Cats were in a good spot was after playing for Calipari in the summer of 2017 for the Team USA U19 team.
