Kentucky among many pursuing Texas prep star Mudiay

[William F Hansford]

Ray Forsett, Mudiay's coach at Dallas Prime Prep Academy, said the 6-4 point guard, who is regarded as one of the top five overall players in the 2014 recruiting class, said Mudiay could play for virtually any school in the country.

Mudiay has definite interest in Kentucky. He says Kentucky coach John Calipari is a “great guy and great coach” and likes the “good job” he has done with point guards such as Tyreke Evans, Derrick Rose, John Wall, Brandon Knight and Marquis Teague. Calipari has another highly touted point guard, Andrew Harrison, coming next season.

Mudiay said he also likes that Calipari “can win championships and worries about his program” by bringing in the best talent he can.

“He’ll just see how things unfold and how it plays out,” Forsett said. “He has definite interest in Kentucky. If you are a top player, you have got to have interest in Kentucky. But he has interest in a lot of top programs. It’s about finding the great fit for him. He is a high-level kid. He’ll just ask God for help making the right decision and who he is comfortable with is where he’ll know he needs to be.
