Life for Alex Poythress hasn’t exactly been “normal” since he stepped inside Northeast High School as a freshman three years ago. While most students worry about what college they’ll attend, Poythress won’t have that problem. The 6-foot-8, 210-pound senior has attracted the attention of some of the larger Division I basketball programs across the country. And now one of the elite programs in the history of the college game has thrown its cards on the table.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
