IN HIS OWN WORDS
Oregon: “It stands out that they made the Final Four and they offered me right after they lost. It means a lot that they see that I have the potential to play for their school.”
Kentucky: “I have been playing with Isaiah Briscoe since I was a freshman in high school. I have been looking forward to a Kentucky offer, hopefully.”
St. John’s: “Coach (Chris) Mullin is a great coach. He offered me two years ago when I was a freshman; it was my second offer. I have been there for some visits and practices.”
Syracuse: “I spoke to coach (Adrian) Autry a week ago. He wanted me to come visit; the last time that I was up there was for the Syracuse camp last summer. I am going to try and take another visit up there around September.”
Selecting a college sometime in the fall, King should have the pick and while St. John’s and Syracuse might have the best shot with him now. If Kentucky offers, look for the Wildcats to win this battle, their first recruit out of New Jersey since Isaiah Briscoe.
