Kevin Knox

Kevin Knox has had somewhat of a quiet offseason. So much so, that 247 Sports has dropped him down to the No. 10 recruit in 2017. Knox has cut his list down to four schools, and Kentucky is in the mix. The 6-foot-8 small forward is most likely not coming to Kentucky, as Duke is a heavy favorite, at 62 percent on the 247 Sports Crystal Ball predictions. North Carolina is second with 19 percent, and Kentucky and Missouri trailing, at 10 percent and five percent respectively.

Knox would be a great addition to the forward position, joining Jarred Vanderbilt and PJ Washington. The kid can shoot from anywhere, and can get to the rim with his above-average build. Adding Knox, who is in the discussion for the lottery in next year’s draft, would be a tremendous get for Cal. No doubt, it would be great have him next season, but as of now, the chances are not in our favor.
