Brandon Knight, who Rivals.com considers the nation’s No. 1 high school prospect, plans to make his college choice in April.
He’s considering Kentucky, Florida, Connecticut, Kansas and Syracuse.
“No more visits,” he said on Tuesday from Columbus, Ohio, where he will play in the McDonald’s All-American Game on Wednesday.
A decision will come after talking to his parents, he said.
Knight confirmed earlier reports that his parents like Kentucky.
“Yeah, they liked Lexington and the area,” he said before adding, “They also like a lot of other schools. Kansas. Florida. If they didn’t like them, they wouldn’t be on the list.”
With John Wall expected to join Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans as one-and-done players that played for John Calipari, Knight said that track record was on his mind. “A little bit,” he said.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
