Zeke Nnaji picks up Kentucky offer, will cut list soon

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Zeke Nnaji, the 6-foot-11 power forward from Hopkins (MN) and D1 Minnesota, picked up an offer from Kentucky coach John Calipari on Sunday and is planning an unofficial visit to campus before the end of September, his father told ZAGSBLOG. 

“Yes, sir, yesterday,” Apham Nnaji said of the Kentucky offer. “Coach Cal was at the house for a home visit.”

He added: “The message was that they don’t offer everybody, they have limited scholarships just like most schools. But they watched him this summer and this spring and the only coach who watched him more than him was probably coach [Fran] McCaffery [of Iowa]. They do a lot of research and analysis of kids and what they’re looking for based on the way the NBA game is going, a kid that can switch multiple positions, guard multiple positions, play inside, play outside, take advantage of mismatches. So it was a great meeting.”
