While much of the focus for frontcourt options in the Class of 2019 has been focused on James Wiseman and Vernon Carey Jr., Kentucky may be in a better spot than previously assumed with another very talented forward in the class.
Matthew Hurt, a 6’9 forward from Minnesota ranked #6 in the 247 Sports Composite, has long been thought to be a heavy Kansas lean and understandably so.
However. KSR’s TJ Walker recently wrote that he thinks Kentucky is in better shape with Hurt than many believe.
UK has a much better chance with Hurt than people think. I get the sense that Hurt himself prefers Kentucky, but a lot of people around him are pushing some other schools. Shoe companies, family preferences, being able to play this summer for Bill Self. Those are reasons I’ve heard UK won’t land Hurt, but I know other players in the class of 2019 believe that UK may be the team to beat for Hurt.
Kentucky may have to win Hurt and his family over on the official visit, which will happen this fall. I like where things are going in this recruitment.
