Kemp set to announce school choice this week

The moment of truth is almost here for JoJo Kemp. It's safe to say the Wildcats are paying close attention.

That much is clear. Kentucky running backs coach Chad Scott and offensive coordinator Neal Brown will have another in-home visit with the Deland (Fla.) all-purpose back this week.

Not before West Virginia. The Mountaineers have an in-home scheduled with Kemp for Monday. South Florida's in-home should be just after UK's.

Each of those three schools, plus Pitt, has made it this far as a finalist. Kemp visited South Florida, the local option, over the weekend.

"It went all right," Kemp said. "It went good. My mom and dad were having a good time while they were there. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I liked that."

But will location become a bigger draw as Kemp's decision date draws nearer?

"No, that doesn't play into it at all," Kemp said.

Good thing for UK, West Virginia and Pitt. It could also be a good sign for those schools that the Bulls accepted a commitment from another Florida running back, Stafon McCray, who was once on the UK radar.

Kemp, the No. 10 all-purpose back in the nation, said the decision has already pretty much been made. Kemp knows where he wants to go to school.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know," he said. "I'm probably going to make my decision either Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Sometime within that period."

Kemp is the only running back Kentucky is currently recruiting and there do not appear to be any back-up options.
