John Calipari now at Nike watching Cam Reddish and Louis King, two big-time players in the 2018 class. UK has offered Reddish.

 

[Smashcat]

Reddish is my fav player in the class. I like this idea a lot.

Good gracious, Reddish is a freak. High on my list of favorite 2018 guys to watch. Teammate Louis King says UK talked about them as "a duo."

 

[thevaliantx]

"starting at Forward, the beast Reddish & King..."

 

[WildMoon]

Elite size, length, and skill.

I hope we get him!

 

[SmoothRunner32]

Sadly, Duke insiders think Reddish is a lock but they also think they're getting the whole top 10 in the 2018 class

 

[arenk]

Thank God no one has said that he has that Duke look or that we won't get him because Duke wants him too. That constant fear of Duke or believing that UK simply cannot compete with them is quite annoying and factually not supported by evidence. They have not generally brought in better classes than UK in the Cal-Era.

98% of the posters on this board think he is a duke lock also as every recruiting period puts a new level of fear in UK fans when it comes to who duke wants.. According to most here, duke would sign 30 if there were no limit on schollies. It's pitiful.

You know many always believe the negative and never the truth.

 

[ukfan2410]

Reddish is not a lock to Duke, I don't know if UK gets him but we are def in it and he's very high on the Cats

 

[JonathanUSAF]

I think we land King and Williamson with Reddish to Duke.

 

[Hoskins21]

Duke leads for every top 10 player every Spring and ends up landing 1 or 2.

 

[bucsrule8872]

The top 5 in this class, IMHO:

1. Bagley
2. Williamson
3. Langford
4. Reddish
5. Barrett

I think we could end up with Bagley and Barrett.

I think Duke gets Langford and Reddish.

I think Williamson stays in South Carolina (Clemson or USC).

Just my guess.

If Cal can convince Williamson and Bagley to play together, then we might grab three top 5 guys in this class.

 

[Cat Ballou]

Lots of sentiment out there that Duke has backed off of Langford. They are trying to sell the two best PGs in the class on playing together in the backcourt.

That's dumb as shit. K could never pull that off and make it work. Langford is a stud and any coach backing off for that lame idea............

Ballou, not saying your post is dumb, it's a great post brother.......thank you.

Jason Marcum and Chris Fisher also have him going to Duke. It's unrealistic to think Duke isn't going to get a couple or few top recruits.

I think Duke's quandary is Garland is probably the best PG in the class and he is a very strong Duke lean. Jones of course is a legacy and was a 4-star caliber player going into to Summer but he looks like he is going to blow up and end up a Top 20 kid and Top 2-3 PG.

So how do you land both? I think the original plan was to recruit Garland as the OAD PG with Jones as the multiyear backup. That's probably still the plan, but of course you can't tell Jones that. Meanwhile, I guarantee you they are telling Reddish he is a 2G and they are telling Zion he's a SF. So where does Langford fit?

I think Duke's quandary is Garland is probably the best PG in the country and he is a very strong Duke lean. Jones of course is a legacy and was a 4-star caliber player going into to Summer but he looks like he is going to blow up and end up a Top 20 kid and Top 2-3 PG.

Isn't there sentiment out there suggesting Langford may be going to Louisville? Is that why Duke is backing off, because they don't think they'll get him.........?

I think Duke will get Reddish. I don't think they get Zion. Jones is a new one to me, so I appreciate your insight tremendously.

 

[Catzman]

Reddish is so good. Haven't seen King much at all but if we somehow got those 2 as a duo, we'd see cal have a lot of fun.

Reddish says he most wants to play with Tre Jones and Garland, won't be a shock if all 3 go to Duke. But another variable is that the #1 in 2019, R.J. Barrett (http://247sports.com/Player/RJ-Barrett-88046), is most likely joining 2018 as the new #2 behind Bagley. That's 3 stud SFs in the top 5, and I bet UK moves in on Barrett if Reddish and Zion go elsewhere.

Definitely. I can see Cal selling Barrett on playing the 2 for us. There really aren't any good true SG's besides Langford in the '18 class.

I don't think the PGs are anything to write home about, either.

Yep.

Hoping Green and/or Gilgeous-Alexander stay two years.

 

[dckala2]

I think it's getting to he point where 2018/19 kids can't be promised that k will be on the sidelines at duke when they get there.

I'm quoting you bc you brought up something I've been wondering about. If Barrett does reclassify to '18, what ranking is he in the class? You have #2. Is the the general feeling out there?

 

[Bluesnky]

Yep.

Hoping Green and/or Gilgeous-Alexander stay two years.

Just reading the tea leaves, I won't be surprised if UK offers Reddish as a PG. He has said he would like to play PG in college and now Cal is talking to him about playing with another elite SF (King).

Saw an interview where Barrett seemed to be very high on UK

Yeah, Daniels @ Scout said he'd be #2 in 2018 when he reclassifies. http://bit.ly/2qi60ct

I thought that was the plan based on an interview he gave. He was PG of his high school team for the first time this year. He said he wasn't particularly thrilled at first and now that's what he believes he is, a PG. More like a lead guard I'd presume

 

[Hoskins21]

Why does Duke always get the early hype with some of these players? Yet, UK essentially always ends up with a better class.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Kentucky's 2018 class will be number one again, and better than Duke's. Mark it down.

The performance of Cam Reddish these past few games has been nothing short of ridiculous. Scary combo of size and skill on the wing #EYBL
