Kentucky: “They’re run and gun. They’ve got a lot of good players coming in. Coach Kenny Payne is a really good coach. Coach Cal is a really good coach. They like to run up and down with a lot of transition which is something I like to do.”
Duke: “Jayson Tatum [is leaving] and they’ve had a lot of good wing players to come through Duke and they’ve done a really good job. They have a great all-around game.”
FSU: “Dwayne Bacon and Jonathan [Isaac] are gone, so I’d be able to come in and get all the minutes and start my own legacy.”
UNC: “Justin Jackson is probably gone. Joel Berry and Theo Pinson will probably be back, so I’d be able to get minutes and put the ball in the basket.”
Knox mentioned that Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski visited Knox following their loss to South Carolina in the second round of the NCAA tournament. “It’s good to see him come in after they lost,” said Knox. “I have a really good relationship with Coach K. That plays a big part in my recruitment.”
He also discussed how the probable departures of Duke stars Luke Kennard, Jayson Tatum and Grayson Allen will affect his decision. “I’m definitely looking at if Luke and Grayson are staying,” said Knox. “Coach K told me that it doesn’t really matter whether they come back. I’d still be starter because I’d play Jayson’s position. So, I believe I’d be the starter regardless.”
This week for the McDonald’s All-American Game, Knox has been rooming with Kentucky commit Nick Richards, who has “been in his ear for a while now”. “He does a good job recruiting,” said Knox. “Him and I get along really well. I’ve been hearing it all week.”
