  • Kentucky’s John Calipari meets with 2018 center Moses Brown

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Kentucky head coach John Calipari and assistant Tony Barbee met on Sunday morning with Moses Brown, the 7-foot-2 senior big man from Archbishop Molloy High School.

    Brown has previously taken official visits to Maryland (Sept. 28), Florida State (Oct. 20) and UCLA (Oct. 27). He has yet to visit Kentucky, but has said he would like to.

    “He loved UCLA,” Molloy assistant John Magna told ZAGSBLOG. “Coach [Duane] Broussard and [Steve] Alford did a great job all along the recruiting process.. They spoke to him about how he fits into what they are doing. He got to a chance to watch a scrimmage. He saw himself fitting really well in there system. And he got a chance to see L.A. life for the weekend. The fans out West really knew who he was and were approaching him. He loves that fact that they see Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar] when they see Moses, especially with being a New York product at that size and skill.”

    It remains unclear if Brown will sign during the early signing period, which begins Nov. 8.

    Kentucky has just one commit in the Class of 2018 in point guard Immanuel Quickley but remains in the mix for several elite prospects, including Zion Williamson, Bol Bol, Darius Garland and Keldon Johnson.
