There will be another group of recruiting VIPs in Rupp Arena for UK’s annual Big Blue Madness showcase Friday night. Here’s a closer look at the guest list heading into the big event:
Vernon Carey
The visiting recruit of most immediate concern is Carey, a 6-foot-10 power forward and the No. 1 overall player in Rivals.com’s rankings for the class of 2019.
Carey — from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — will be on campus for his official visit this weekend and will follow that with official visits to Duke, Miami and North Carolina the following three weekends.
