Looking like UK may be getting close to picking another KY kid.

"""Wednesday, Calipari reached out to Allen, his father, Tony Thomas, told CatsPause.com where previously, UK assistant Joel Justus had been the lead on Allen's recruitment.

"We've been communicating back and forth keeping an open line of communication. Just building a rapport," Thomas said. "They like his game a lot. They came out and watched him play at the Under Armour Challenge. They like his game and think he can play at that level."

The call from Calipari would seem to signal increased interest but could an offer be imminent?

"We haven't really discussed anything like that," Thomas said. "There's no timetable for anything. We're not waiting on anything from Kentucky. We're just going to stay in contact with them. It's not like we're ready to make a decision or anything. There's no ultimatum. We're just going to take our time."""

I think he will offer when he visits.

"""UK Coach John Calipari was on the recruiting trail Friday night to see Pendleton County star Dontaie Allen play in the Louisville Jam Fest, his final recruiting event of the July evaluation period.

Allen — a 6-foot-6 wing — is set to visit UK on Wednesday, and he could receive a scholarship offer from the Wildcats during that trip. He’ll be one of the frontrunners for Mr. Basketball honors as a senior this season. Rivals.com and 247Sports have both elevated him to Top 100 status in the 2019 class this month, and he’s picked up recent offers from Louisville, Florida, Xavier and several other top programs.

Calipari watched Allen play for the first time a couple of weeks ago at the Under Armour Challenge. The UK coach called Allen a few days later to set up next week’s campus """

Wow! DJ Jeffries has just decommitted. I thought I read somewhere that when Hardaway took over Memphis he was still going to stick with UK. So much for that.

There is a lot of recruiting going on that Cal knows that we don't know. I believe the reason Jeffries is leaving UK is he and Wiseman are good friends and they will both end up at Memphis. I believe Cal knows this and that is why he started looking at other big guys. I think we can scratch Wiseman off along with Jeffries.

Look for DontaiAllen to get an offer this week and commit very soon afterwards. I don't believe we'll lose anything with Allen taking Jeffries place. We still have a chance for Carey in the middle along with a couple more that are coming on.
