Three high school basketball prospects who have been on Kentucky’s priority list for months will announce their college decisions Thursday, and the Wildcats look to be in good shape with at least two of them.
Nick Richards — a 6-foot-11 center from Queens, N.Y. — will go first, scheduled to announce his college choice at 2 p.m., at his high school, The Patrick School in New Jersey.
Richards has taken two visits to UK over the past few weeks and has not yet visited his other two finalists, Arizona and Syracuse. Scout.com national analyst Evan Daniels told the Herald-Leader on Wednesday that he fully expects Richards to pick UK. That would make him the Wildcats’ first commitment for the class of 2017.
