Big news on the recruiting front for Kentucky and John Calipari.
The Kentucky Wildcats are getting serious with Jaden McDaniels.
After John Calipari visited McDaniels multiple times in recent months, the five-star forward is now visiting Kentucky this weekend, according to Evan Daniels. He’s already visited the Washington Huskies, Texas Longhorns and San Diego State Aztecs.
McDaniels is a 6-11 power forward from Federal Way, WA. He is currently the top power forward in the 2019 recruiting class and 247 Sport Composite ranks him at No. 4 overall.
McDaniels averaged 19.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per game this summer on the Nike EYBL circuit, and Nike named him the Breakout Performer of the Year.
Before the spring season began, McDaniels was ranked as the No. 89 recruit in the country. He saw an unprecedented jump to the top 10 in early June and continues to rise. Some believe that he could end up being the top prospect in the class.
