Whenever a group of elite high school basketball players gathers together, the committed ones try to recruit the uncommitted ones to join them.
And this weekend’s USA Basketball minicamp in Colorado Springs, Colo., is no exception.
Kentucky-bound point guard Immanuel Quickley is working on getting some other players to join him in the Bluegrass. It’s no secret that Quickley and Zion Williamson have talked about playing together. Williamson visits Kentucky next weekend for Big Blue Madness. He will be joined by Bol Bol, who is down to Kentucky and Oregon, and Darius Garland, who is now considering Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Indiana and UCLA. Kentucky is also involved for point guard Quentin Grimes, who’s also considering Kansas, Marquette and Texas. Junior star James Wiseman will also visit next weekend.
“I think we’ll be good. I’ve been talking to a couple of them,” Quickley told ace ESPN draft guru Jonathan Givony. “I think we should get some commitments. Before high school basketball season, we should be good.”
