De’Aaron Fox, the No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2016, had a home visit Monday night with Kentucky coach John Calipari ahead of his official visit to campus next month.
“[Calipari] just let him know it’s OK to dream big,” Cypress Lakes (TX) coach Emmanuel Olatunbosun told SNY.tv. “He told him he would play with other players that have the same goal as his, and it could be reached playing for him.
“He didn’t promise him anything but told him he would be a great fit for what they are about.”
The 6-foot-4 Fox, who has drawn comparisons to former Calipari guard John Wall, visited LSU last weekend and has officials scheduled for Louisville (Sept. 25-27), Kansas (Oct. 9-11), Kentucky (Oct. 16-18) and Arizona (Nov. 6-8).
He is expected to decide sometime after those visits.
“That’s the goal, it’s a feel thing for him,” Coach O said. “He’s not going to draw it out if he doesn’t have to.”
Fox is projected as the No. 6 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.com.
