He's played high school ball in Louisville, California and his senior year at Beach. He actually grew up in Kentucky and his family bye and large is there. It's a bigger loss for UK and Louisville, the town he's from, than him not staying "home" and going to UW. As for his choice, Kansas was the best of his final 5. HOF coach and a decent roster in which he can showcase himself. Kentucky, his second choice is really close to firing Mark Pope. Kentucky's talent level isn't where a blue blood should be. Going 22-10 won't cut it there and that's probably the max his roster can expect. Good luck Zoom, hope you got real paid.
