Wendell Carter Jr. says Kentucky Wildcats not calling; Conceding him to Duke?

Posted Jul 8, 2016
It's no secret that even elite programs like Kentucky will concede guys like Wendell Carter Jr. to others if they feel said prospect simply isn't coming. There's no reason to waste time with a guy they know they can't get when they could be pushing harder for other recruits. That may be the case with Carter, who revealed at the Nike Peach Jam that UK has not been in contact with him in months. (A Sea of Blue)
