9th grade UK decommit visits Georgetown

[DanMcQ]

Ninth-grader Avery has 'grown up a lot' - Picking UK early taught a lesson

The 6-foot-5 Avery said he doesn't regret committing to the Wildcats but that the decision led to a "tough" year.

"Everybody's eyes were on me, and I felt like I couldn't act like a normal eighth- or ninth-grader," he said.

Now he has college coaches' eyes back on him.

Avery, of Encino, Calif., said he made an unofficial visit to Indiana University on Friday and earlier in the week spent time at Georgetown University. He's also been to California Berkeley and said he has plans to spend time at several other schools. He has not heard from Calipari.

I assume 'spent time at Georgetown University' means an unofficial visit...

...who says the Princetown Offense scares away top recruits?

could this have been the mystery recruit that one of our super spies (*stalkers) identified at tombs?? So this kid is supposed to be a stud hm?

No, we do not want Michael Avery. He is vastly overrated and should not have even gotten an offer from Kentucky. Mark my words, if he blows up, then it'll be good that we were recruiting him now, but as of right now, not worth a 2012 schollie.

Maybe it was Georgetown College he visited.

If this is the present state of recruiting, then I don't see why not build relationships for the future. IMO, I cannot see JT3 "offering" a scholarship to 9th grader.

Maybe he's really smart and can graduate early, like this year, and join us as a 15 or 16 year old next year. Maybe he has a 6th grade brother we can look at too.

Ed, I think you should get an "It's a recruit, not a choice" bumper sticker.

This thread is silly, except that Encino is the town next to mine, so I wonder where he'll be attending high school.

He goes to Crespi.....not my favorite since they were a league rival of my high school's, but as I understand it, I think he should have been a sophomore this year....
