Elite prospect Karl Towns picks Kentucky, reclassifies to 2014

Posted Dec 4, 2012
Towns, a 6-foot-11 power forward from St. Joseph (N.J.), is an elite talent who has been recruited by some of the nation's best for a couple of years. Kentucky has always seemed like the favorite, and Calipari coaching Towns on the Dominican Republic national team didn't hurt. Florida was heavily in the mix for awhile, while Duke was also a frontrunner for some time. Seton Hall, Rutgers, Michigan State and North Carolina made the final seven. (CBS Sports)
