Kahlil Whitney - SF - Roselle Catholic

Whitney now trending towards a 5star ranking. Kid is blowing up, as is BX native Jalen Lecque. Outside looking in we've stepped back from Lecque and are prioritizing Gaffney?

An even bigger story from that article is that Jwan Roberts is starting to get some recognition, SJU right now the only major offer:

WHO IS THAT?
 
POSITION
JWAN
ROBERTS
RANK
N/A
6'7" | 200 LBS | PF
SHOEMAKER
KILLEEN, TX
CLASS OF 2019
UNDECIDED
Every time I looked over, I had to ask myself, “Who is that!?” That would be J’Wan Roberts, a soon-to-be breakout from the state of Texas who holds offers from just North Texas, UTRGV, Houston Baptist, and St. John’s. Finding 6-foot-8 forwards that can run the floor, finish in traffic, rebound and defend away from the rim, Roberts fits the mold of a high-major prospect.The Virgin Islands native knocked down eight of his 12 shots from the floor, while remaining a presence on the glass and as a backline defender. It would not be a surprise to see the local Big 12 programs become involved soon.

Long, long shot. Not getting hopes up on this one.

I think SJU makes 8 but Illinois and Louisville best shot here.

If you are talking about top 50 kids I think Scottie Lewis, Cockburn, Iggy, Achiuwa and Whitney in terms of descending odds of a chance to land (Best to worst).

Steal one of those 5 and combine with Ledlum, Bishop/Gaffney and maybe a transfer....

Not in Final 8

Illinois, Georgetown, Kentucky, SMU, Oregon, Miami, Florida State and Louisville

DJ Jefferies became the first Cal UK decommit in his tenure. One reason can be Penny Hardaway, who's going after similar recruits. Awesome article on the dyamic forming in Memphis linked below. Kahlil is rumored to be filling in the void @UK now:

Decommited because Kentucky didn't have a coach at his last AAU game of the season in Las Vegas? Yeah, I believe that.

Just popped for UK
