I doubt he would be drafted anyways and who knows we get to see him for four years.

On Thursday, it was announced that Humphries, now 17, will be a Wildcat.

The 7-footer from Australia has signed with UK and is expected to be eligible to play for the Cats in the upcoming 2015-16 season. High school coach Brad Johnstin has been helping Humphries navigate the recruiting process, and he told the Herald-Leader that UK's new signee would move to Lexington on Saturday.

Unlike many high school prospects who jump up a class, this move was not made to get Humphries to the NBA any quicker.

The UK signee turned 17 in January, and NBA Draft age eligibility rules will prevent him from entering the draft until 2017 at the earliest. That means Humphries will be a Wildcat for at least two seasons.

"He has to go to college for two years ... ," Johnstin said. "It's a free year of unbelievable development. It was a no-brainer."

Cal did a great job picking up Harrellson and Humphries could turn out like him.

I don't think Cal "picked up" Harrellson. I know he played for, and sat in a bathroom stall for, none other than Billy Clyde.
