2017 Recruit Watch

[lilproUK98]

Article from Michigan on Cam Johnson. Johnson doesn't graduate until April 30th and doesn't seem to be in any rush. I didn't realize he had two years of eligibility remaining.

Yep, he is a RS Soph. I believe. A two yr grad transfer who has a proven track record and experience in the ACC. HAs shot over 40% from 3 his first two yrs and is mentally tough.

I honestly think he holds the key to UK being the last team standing next yr. With him, I think we have a serious shot. Without, we will have to have some guys play with some serious mental toughness and poise that most first year players don't have when it comes to lose and you're out situation.

Knox will have four in-home visits. Kentucky will come in tonight.

Interestingly North Carolina isn't one of the four teams.

Duke's visit is last. Is there any advantage in what order the visits occur?

[Joneslab]

Knox added a visit with North Carolina.

Knox added a visit with North Carolina.

Kinda weird how they weren't on the original list...must've been a scheduling issue and Ol' Roy figured he better make time for him once he saw that everyone else was coming in.

I credit Cal, it has to be exhausting chasing some of these kids that you know you probably have a 20% chance of landing.

Admittedly I'm not the brightest but I struggle following the new sub-forums. Recruit watch is a subforum within recruiting and recruit watch class of 2018 is a subforum within recruit watch but recruit watch class of 2017 is not?

Not sure whether I'm seeing each post or not. No big deal. I just try to look everywhere.😊

No. There's a Class of 2018 General Discussion thread within the main Recruiting forum. The only current sub-forum is for individual class of 2018 players. If news pops up about an individual 2018 player, it will be posted in that player's thread within the Class of 2018 sub-forum; if anyone wants to talk about the class in general, those posts can go in the 2018 General Discussion thread (under the main Recruiting forum).

The Recruit Watch sub-forums are meant to help members keep track of each individual player on Kentucky's radar for a particular class.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Cam Johnson's final six are: Arizona, Kentucky, Ohio State, Oregon, UCLA, TCU per Jeff Borzello.

I'd LOVE to add this kid.

I know this is probably a minority opinion, but if I had a choice between Knox and Johnson, I would take Johnson in a heart beat every time.

I would too.

Bamba and Johnson, that would get me excited for next season!

Cam Johnson visiting Wednesday and Thursday.....

Most are saying that if Cal truly wants him he'll get him.

We shall see. If Knox is officially out in Cal's mind he may go ahead and lock Johnson up. If Diallo is somehow done at UK then Johnson will assuredly join, but I don't think what Diallo does has a direct affect on Johnson's decision.

If Cal has that much confidence in getting Knox then he knows more than anyone else.....Knox is a gamble at this point and with having our youngest team ever next season I can't imagine a scenario where Cal thinks he doesn't need to lock Cam down.

Green and Washington are playing in another game with Bamba, and are on the same team. And it looks like there won't be any Duke or Texas players in this game. Lock him up boys!!!!
