Without confirming his parentage, it looks like Cal better be ready to add another Jamal to the KY history books if this MaxPrep Freshman All-American continues to develop! Jamal Mashburn Jr.
Legacy: Jamal Mashburn Jr.

Maybe but suspect he'd go to the school down the road.
Mashburn would push/influence him to Pitino before he would UK.
For his sake, I'd hope he goes anywhere but here.
It's a slim chance he'd produce at the level his dad did (thus would be considered a failure), not to mention all the comparisons between himself and his father would be tiresome.

I'm not so sure I believe that. I think it's possible, but no where near a definite. But also Pitino would be 68 before he got to campus. I don't think he'll still be coaching.
Lastly, do we even know if Jamal Jr is the son of "our" Monster Mash, or just some other dude with the same name?
If he did, I couldn't blame him. Mash is my all-time favorite player at UK. He was a savior. Program was rebuilt on his shoulders.
Hope he comes to UK. But even if he doesn't, even if he plays for UNC, Duke or UL. I'll root for him to do well (unless playing against UK). Mash was/is that special to this UK fan.
Check his pic in the link. No way that's not Mash's son lol.
Well, based on the what I see about Jamal Sr. on wikipedia, he has done pretty well for himself since retirement from the NBA, so he doesn't have a financial need. Let's hope that uavel has a new coach by then and maybe he can come to UK. Even if he isn't good enough to start at UK, it would be cool to follow in Dad's footsteps.
If I had to guess, I'd say Louisville would have a pretty serious edge.
Pitino and Mashburn are not only tight -- they own about half the state together via their various joint ventures. Mashburn is also a huge Papa John's franchisee.

I'll take another Anthony Davis type player! A guard that suddenly adds 8-10" can't be bad
