When the list of participants for the upcoming USA Basketball U19 World Cup Team training camp came out on Thursday, five were current high school players.
Bol Bol, Louis King, Romeo Langford, Cam Reddish and Immanuel Quickley are the five rising seniors among the 28 players invited.
Four of those five players — everyone except King out of Hudson (N.J.) Catholic — hold scholarship offers from Kentucky in the Class of 2018. Kentucky has high interest in the 6-foot-8 King but has yet to offer.
The 6-4 Quickley was the first point guard from that class to receive a Kentucky offer.
Of the seven players with reported offers from Kentucky in the Class of 2018, four of them will be at the U19 trials. Langford is ranked No. 3 in the Class of 2018 by ESPN.com, while Reddish is No. 4, Quickley is No. 12, King is No. 37 and Bol is No. 40.
The team, of course, is coached by Kentucky’s John Calipari, who will now have access to these players during the tryouts June 18-20 in Colorado Springs, Colo., and to whoever makes the team for the World Championship in Cairo, Egypt July 1-9.
