Meet James Wiseman, who could be Kentucky's next great big man

Posted Feb 20, 2018
On a loaded roster, he stands out as the star. No, this isn’t Kentucky (yet), and it isn’t Karl-Anthony Towns (yet), rather 16-year-old James Wiseman, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2019 and the Wildcats’ most important target. He had 40 points and 14 rebounds Monday at powerhouse Memphis East High School, coached by former NBA star Penny Hardaway. (SEC Country)
