By ADAM ZAGORIA

James Wiseman, the 7-foot center from East (TN) High School, has recently visited Kentucky, Kansas and Memphis and still has official visits planned to Vanderbilt (Oct. 14), Memphis (Oct. 19), and Florida State (Oct. 25).

The No. 1 player in the Class of 2019 is currently at the USA Basketball mini-camp in Colorado Springs, Col., where he discussed his recent visits and his decision timeline with Eric Bossi of Rivals.com.

Kentucky: “The visit went great. Coach (John) Calipari is a great guy and the coaching staff is great. The team is great too. Keldon Johnson, Ashton Hagans, and all of those guys, I had fun with them.”

He added: “Coach Calipari compared my EYBL highlights to his system and when Anthony Davis was there at Kentucky and Karl-Anthony Towns and it was very similar. It was pick and roll, pick and pop and I was like wow, that just amazed me. So I got a feeling that I could fit in their system very well and do great things.”
