  • Quade Green Expected at Kentucky for Big Blue Madness

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    After visiting Syracuse this weekend, Neumann-Goretti (PA) and PSA Cardinals point guard Quade Green will trip to Kentucky on Oct. 14 for Big Blue Madness, a source said.

    As previously reported here, Syracuse and Kentucky have been most aggressive in their recruitment of Green, although Duke and Villanova are among the others involved.

    Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim and assistant Gerry McNamara visited Green last month at Goretti, which also produced former Orange standouts Scoop Jardine and Rick Jackson.

    Green “blew up” this spring and summer, helping the PSA Cardinals reach the finals of the Peach Jam and winning a gold medal with the USA U18 team. He picked up Duke and Kentucky offers in late June.

    As for Kentucky, head coach John Calipari and assistant Tony Barbee met with Green last month.

    “The point guard position is important to him [Calipari] and he thinks Quade has both the talent and intangibles to handle it,” Arrigale said.

    Kentucky is also in the mix for 2017 point guards Trae Young and Tremont Waters, with current freshman De’Aaron Fox projected as a first-round pick in 2017. Young is also expected to mix visit for Big Blue Madness after Waters visited recently.

    For now, Syracuse and Kentucky are the most aggressive.

    “Boeheim feel similar to Cal,” Arrigale said. “He wants him to come and run the show.”
