The No. 1 player in high school basketball is considering a reclassification to the class of 2021, and even with 12 scholarship players on the roster – six being frontcourt pieces – Kentucky is prepared to go out fighting by the time a decision comes at the end of the summer.
Jalen Duren, a 6-foot-10, 230-pound center in the rising senior class, has openly discussed the possibility of taking the professional route. At one point, the five-star prospect even told 247Sports that a school would have to “wow” him to consider going to college.
At this week’s Pangos All-American Camp in Las Vegas, though, talk of Duren strongly considering the college route this fall began ramping up, with the five-star center telling KSR that he has scheduled three official visits this month. He’ll start with a trip to Miami (FL) this week, followed by trips to Kentucky and Memphis at the end of June.
The nation’s No. 1 overall prospect also told KSR he is planning to make his final decision at the end of the summer, another indication that a reclassification is on the table.
“I came away very, very convinced he’s seriously considering the college route. It is not a done deal he’s going to the pros,” I said on this week’s edition of the Sources Say Podcast. “… He’s also planning to make a decision at the end of the summer. That’s something that I don’t think people realize at all, we are within months of a Jalen Duren final decision.
“I was told from somebody else that would definitely know that a reclassification is still very much on the table. … If he reclasses, it’s with the intention of going to college.”

I don't necessarily agree as with the new image deals in place for college players, he could make a lot of money at KY and certainly more exposure which means higher draft status after one year.
You guys are probably right but there is another option for highly sought after players now.
