Why hasn’t Kentucky offered KyKy Tandy?

Hopkinsville’s KyKy Tandy is earning offers from several college basketball programs as he enters the summer before his senior season at University Heights Academy. His latest came from Gregg Marshall and Wichita State, which brings his list to 10 schools that have extended an offer. That list also includes SEC schools Tennessee, Ole Miss and Florida, as well as Cincinnati, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Kansas State, New Mexico State and nearby Western Kentucky.

But one school is noticeably absent from his offer sheet: the University of Kentucky. So why is that?

For starters, I think Tandy — though very, very good — isn’t quite the level of guard John Calipari can typically hand-pick from the high school ranks.
