As is typical in the recruiting world, things change on a dime. Top combo guard from Indiana Elite AAU team, DeAndre Liggins, now has a new leader....the University of Kentucky.
Previously, UK had not been able to crack the shell due to resistance from Mark Barnett, the director of the Indiana Elite AAU program. He has close relationships with John Calipari and Bill Self and those schools were seen as prohibitive favorites due to that fact.
However, Indiiana Elite coach, Mark Adams does support Liggins to UK. Additionally, Liggins HS coaches are in favore of Liggins joining the Wildcats.
Due to this recent development, Liggins made a surprise unofficial to UK this weekend and Liggins was blown away on his visit. He had previously had interest in visiting UK, but for reasons mentioned was not able to visit.
This is going to be a hard fought recruitment, but UK now has the connections needed to be a major player (leader) for DeAndre Liggins. He is a playmaking 6'5+ Combo Guard (some list his as a 1 of a 3) with a decent jumper that will need some work to be very good. He is compared by many to a Scottie Pippen type player. My only downside to Liggins is his tenedency to dribble in a little to much. If he learns to give the ball up sooner (something Billy G is great at teaching), he has All American Potential.
In my opinion, this is the biggest recruiting leap of this staff's short career at UK.
