The Kentucky Wildcats are poised to land their first pledge in 2019 in the form of D.J. Jeffries.

247 Sports recruiting guru Evan Daniels just logged a UK pick on Jeffries’ Crystal Ball page, which has 100 percent of the picks going for UK. Daniels is arguably the best in the business, and when he logs his pick in a recruitment, it’s usually a done deal.

That would be great news for UK, who’s been in a bit of a recruiting funk as of late. They had a nice start to the 2018 class with Tyler Herro, Keldon Johnson and Immanuel Quickley, but they’ve also missed on Cam Reddish, R.J. Barrett, Bol Bol and Quentin Grimes.

And we did get the verbal commitment!

Jeffries, the 6-foot-7, 185-pound standout considered the No. 26 player in the ’19 class by 247Sports, led Olive Branch High to state championship last week with a 20-point, five-rebound performance.

Kentucky coach John Calipari reportedly visited Mississippi twice in the past month to see Jeffries. Calipari watched Jeffries score 20 points last week in a state semifinal victory.

Although Jeffries is anly a 4 star he will probably be upgraded to a 5 star by the end of this year. nd what makes this so important is he plays with Wiseman who he most likely will drag to UK with him. Love the high school connections even though it didn't end up getting us Zion Williamson. Williamson kight not have fit in anyway with a bunch of 5 stars on the roster. We'll see how he does at Duke.

I doubt Jeffries ends up coming to UK. Since Memphis hired Penny Hardaway, his AAU coach, my guess is he will actually sign at Memphis along with the Wiseman kid.

Trey,

I thought the same thing but then he verbally committed to UK even after all the pundits were saying Tubby would be fired in the next few days and Hardaway would be the next coach. Some of his comments about always wanting to play for Cal are pretty strong. We will see, but I do understand the concern.
