Louisiana native Javonte Smart is ranked by Scout.com as the No. 1 player at that position in the 2018 class, and Calipari has seen him several times over the past few months.
Smart is well aware of the UK coach’s history.
“John Wall is my favorite point guard,” he said. “He’s great, and Calipari coached him. That’s a great thing. … Everybody says you have to have that dog in you. He’s got that. And that’s what I want to learn from him.”
Smart — a 6-foot-4, 195-pound prospect from Baton Rouge — averaged 25.1 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game as a junior, winning Louisiana player of the year honors and leading his team to a state championship.
