Jalen Duren: "As little attention that Bates gave to the recruiting process, Jalen Duren has given even less. Bates, at least, made a handful of unofficial visits to Michigan and Michigan State during his sophomore season. Duren has revealed very little about which way he might be leaning, which is why the professional path might also be of intrigue to the five-star center. There is always a chance that he reclassifies into the 2021 class if his grades allow it, but there are still a number of milestones to pass before any type of decision is made in regards to college. Making the move to Montverde Academy for his junior year may bring more SEC programs into the mix for the Delaware native. Maryland, Michigan and Penn State have invested the most into his recruitment to date." I expect Kentucky will get more involved with him. Chris Livingston:  "As with Bates and Duren, Livingston could always look toward the professional path instead of college. That route may be the likeliest for the Ohio native, maybe even more so than for Bates and Duren. A brutally physical wing that already looks the part, Livingston may be more NBA-ready than any other prospect his age. There are questions regarding where he might spend his junior year, and a move to the West Coast has been often discussed. If college is in his future, Ohio State seems to have the best chance. Livingston has not garnered the greatest of college interest compared to his fellow top-10 peers, but he is a stupendous talent and interest from the G League, overseas and colleges across the nation will not be in short supply." I don't think we'll get him but Kentucky did contact him when the contacting for the 2022 class started. Brandon Huntley-Hatfield: "Originally a member of the 2021 class, Huntley-Hatfield reclassified into the 2022 class two years ago. There is a chance Huntley-Hatfield could make the leap back into the 2021 class if all goes right in the coming months. That is a lot to ask, especially with the ongoing pandemic, but it is not as if Huntley-Hatfield is physically lacking. A tremendously gifted forward who can play practically all three spots in the frontcourt, his overall production is more about his consistency. Unless things change, Kentucky should be seen as the team to beat. He grew up a fan of the Wildcats and his older cousin is former UK standout Alex Poythress. Memphis, Michigan, Ole Miss and Tennessee are among the other programs in heavy pursuit." Amari Bailey: "About to begin his junior year at Sierra Canyon and has already decommitted from two programs. Before setting foot in a high school classroom, the Chicago native committed to DePaul before backing off his pledge months later. Then came his commitment to UCLA before he decommitted after the coaching change in Westwood that led to Mick Cronin taking over the program. Since then, there has been little to said about his recruitment, but if Bailey decides to leave the West Coast, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan have the best chance with the five-star guard. It would come as no surprise if Bailey decides to go the professional route and opts for the G League instead of college. He could also look overseas at the NBL, a league in which former UCLA commit LaMelo Ball just competed." I don't think we'll get Amari. We could pursue him more but I still don't see him coming here.
