Despite the loss of Jeffries, the ‘Cats landed a wing that very well could become one of the best players in the entire 2019 class and a potential lottery pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Kahlil Whitney (Roselle Catholic/Roselle, N.J.) has been on a rocket towards the top of the recruiting boards across the country with his size, his intensity, his scoring and his motor over the summer with the Mac Irvin Fire; one of the AAU Circuit’s biggest powers.
How good is Whitney? There’s a prominent coach in Chicago that thinks he’s the best player in this class already.
“He’s a phenomenal person,” Morgan Park head basketball coach Nick Irvin said in a phone interview. Irvin’s family runs the famous Mac Irvin Fire program and has helped mold players like Jahlil Okafor, Jabari Parker, Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Meyers Leonard over more recent years.
“He’s a very good kid. He comes from a very good family background. He just loves life. He’s very, very coachable and he wants you to get on him. Basketball is second to none for him. Pound-for-pound, he’s the best player in the country.”
As of now, Whitney is No. 19 on 247 Sports’ big board of 2019 prospects and with a senior season still left to be played, there’s no reason to think Whitney won’t continue to rise up the board.
