Ben Roberts lists 2019 targets who could get the next UK offer

- Chicago standout Kahlil Whitney — a 6-foot-6 wing now playing his high school ball in New Jersey — was the most recent recipient of a Kentucky scholarship offer, making it public Friday afternoon and then playing in front of John Calipari and assistant coach Tony Barbee two days later.

- Dontaie Allen, the Pendleton County star is set to wrap up his July at an event in Louisville this week, and he’s scheduled to be back on UK’s campus Aug. 1 for a trip that could end with a coveted scholarship offer from the Wildcats. Allen — a 6-foot-6 wing — has had a terrific July, picking up offers from Louisville, Florida, Auburn and several others while achieving Top 100 status nationally. Clemson extended an offer Friday afternoon, and Kentucky could very well be next. UK has not extended a scholarship offer to an in-state player in more than five years

- Cole Anthony is on this list only because he talks very little about his recruitment — even to the coaches recruiting him — and, as a result, has not openly claimed a UK scholarship offer. In reality, the 6-3 point guard from New York will be able to play ball anywhere he wants at the next level. Calipari has seen him plenty this spring and summer, and Anthony has told the Herald-Leader recently that he will “obviously” consider UK in his recruitment.

- Armando Bacot Once rumored to be a possible 2018 reclassification candidate, Bacot seems set on staying in the 2019 class, and his level of contact with UK’s coaching staff has been off and on over the past few months. He’s clearly established himself as one of the best bigs in the class, leading his Nike team to a perfect regular season run and Peach Jam title while also helping the USA Basketball U18 team win a FIBA gold medal last month.

Bacot has started playing alot better, i would imagine Cal is keeping tabs on several big guys, while waiting to see what Wiseman will do. The longer Wiseman's recruitment drags out, the better it is for Memphis.. Really hoping he will offer the Oscar kid as well, guy will be a monster at the next level, in the right program..
