“I tell people every day that asks me about Kentucky, I say, ‘I loved it because I had to compete with the best of the best every single day’”, Maxey said. “There’s not a day that I could just take off. That’s why you go there. You go there because you have to go against other five-star recruits, other NBA players. It was amazing. I loved every bit of it.”
Maxey went on to talk about how close he feels to the guys he shared his life with in Lexington. “It feels like I’ve known you since I was little, man,” Maxey said to Quickley. “It’s crazy. I tell people that all the time, that’s one thing about going to Kentucky, I feel like it’s a brotherhood. I feel like I’ve known all of you all since I was four years old when we’ve only known each other for nine or ten months. It’s crazy.”
Of course, the word “brotherhood” is often associated with Duke. However, the sentiment is real in that Maxey feels a connection to Kentucky and his teammates, even though he never even completed a single season there.
This could be a great tool in recruiting, as many recruits follow current players to find out about their experiences. Regardless, it is great to hear that Maxey got what he wanted from the University of Kentucky, even if a few guys have come and gone since Maxey arrived on campus.
