Despite an Internet “report” that Michael Gilchrist is currently visiting Kentucky, his mother says that information is false.
“No he wasn’t and he has no visits planned,” Cindy Richardson wrote in a text.
Gilchrist has been with his AAU team, Team Final, at the Boo Williams Nike Invitational in Virginia for the past several days. On Friday night, he had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists when they lost to Each One Teach One, 76-69.
The 6-foot-7 Gilchrist, out of Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick, is the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2011 and has listed Kentucky and Villanova as his favorites.
KNIGHT TO ANNOUNCE WEDNESDAY
Brandon Knight, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2010, will announce his college choice Wednesday at 4 p.m EST on ESPNU, according to the Orlando Sun Sentinel.
The 6-foot-3 Knight is expected to announce either Kentucky, Kansas, UConn, Syracuse or Florida, although Florida already pulled itself out of the Knight Sweepstakes and Syracuse has never been a heavy player.
Knight averaged 31.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists this past season and was named the Gatorade High School Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons.
