Last night I was able to speak with Tonya Knight, Brandon Knightâs mother, for a bit in order to get the latest on where his recruitment stands. Despite rumors that Knight was deciding between staying at home in Florida or playing for Calipari at Kentucky, she said, âNo we havenât cut the list down yet. We probably wonât cut the list at all. Heâll just make his decisionâ This meshes well with what Iâve been hearing, which is that all schools remain in play and Brandon is still in the midst of the decision making process.
She also added, âWe plan on making a decision in a couple of weeks.â This also goes right along with what the same above sources have been saying.
Therefore, I tend to believe that the people that I have been able to talk with about Knight are good with their information. Theyâve debunked rumors that any kind of commitment is 100% and even laughed at the idea of a âsilent verbal.â The situation right now seems to be exactly what Mrs. Knight is saying. Brandon is in the process of deciding and you can expect that decision anytime within the next couple weeks. These same sources do get the feeling though that any leaning at this point is toward joining Calipariâs long line of future NBA point guards.
Adam Zagoria spoke with a few sources today as well, that seem to feel the parentâs end of the decision is solid. His sources said, âThe parents like UK. Brandon likes the idea of staying local, but heâs definitely not opposed to going away.â A second source said that the parents had already in fact made up their mind and selected UK. âDo I think they made up their mind already? Yes, I do. Itâs hard for me to believe theyâll stay locally,â the source said. Both of these sources agreed that, in the end, UK would be the ultimate destination.
So it looks like all sources agree that UK is sitting in their best case scenario right now, especially with this staffâs ability to seal deals on the recruiting trail.
