I just spoke with his mom. She said they have spoken with Mark Pope several times, and were impressed with him. She said she could tell he is a very energetic individual. She said they were also impressed with him player development plan. They are going to be looking at things like that and need for next season.
Currently he is also in the NBA Draft. He has until May 29 to make the decision. Ms. Lanier stated that the goal is to go in the first round, but they are working "simultaneously" between the draft and looking at schools. Reading between the lines I think going to a place that could help him prepare for the draft next year will be big. She said they are working on a list, and are doing their homework, but are not doing it on everybody who has contacted. I believe they know a few of the schools that will be on it, and I do think there is some excitement there about Kentucky. We did not discuss any other schools.
