This is a very good sign!
Newman, a guard from Mississippi, also said Wednesday night after practice that he would “be watching all of that at UK” concerning who is leaving for the NBA.
“I think it will have an impact on my decision,” he said. “I have definite interest in Kentucky. Coach (John) Calipari gets guys to the league (NBA).”
Kentucky freshman Devin Booker, who also played high school basketball in Mississippi, has tried to sell Newman on UK all year.
“Booker is always trying to get me,” Newman said. “He is just doing his job for the team to be good next year. I understand that.”
Brown says he wouldn’t say the “players never talk about recruiting” at an event like this but insisted they spend more time hanging out than worrying about college choices.
“You kind of have to deal with recruiting. You cannot run from it or hide from it,” he said. “I see it as a blessing to be where I am and get the attention I do.
“I know Kentucky definitely has the best basketball program. I have been on a lot of campuses and Kentucky has the most impressive facilities. Coach Calipari does a good job running and organizing his program. Basketball-wise, it’s the best. But if you are a pro, you are a pro. It doesn’t really matter if you go to the University of Alaska, recruiters will find out. Going to the league, it’s not that big a deal where you go to school. To me, it’s more about liking everything about the school and coach.”
