Tyrese Maxey is on the Recruiting Trail
The No. 8 overall prospect in ESPN’s 2019 recruiting rankings and current Kentucky Wildcat commit, Tyrese Maxey, has been leading the recruiting trail for his new team despite missing out on James Wiseman in November.
Maxey, the second-highest rated shooting guard in his class, was pushing hard to land a commitment from Wiseman but didn’t get discouraged when the nation’s top recruit chose the Memphis Tigers instead.
“It’s like that sometimes,” said Maxey, who plays for South Garland High School out of Texas. “At the end of the day he [Wiseman] had to do what was right for him and I respect that. He’s still my man.”
