LEXINGTON, Ky. _ Kentucky picked up a major point guard recruit late Thursday night with the commitment of five-star prospect Devin Askew.
Can John Calipari land another?
With Askew committed to the Cats _ and a good possibility to eventually reclassify and play at Kentucky next season _ attention fully turns to Cade Cunningham, the No. 1 point guard in the 2020 class and the No. 2 overall recruit in the country.
Cunningham was in Lexington last weekend for his official visit, a trip that was centered on Big Blue Madness. By all accounts, that was a success for the Wildcats. Shortly after the visit wrapped up, 247Sports national analyst Evan Daniels logged a Crystal Ball prediction for Cunningham in UK's favor.
Does Askew's commitment change Daniels' thinking on Cunningham's college destination?
"No," he told the Herald-Leader. "I actually think they complement each other extremely well. Cade is a distributor _ a high-IQ guy with good feel that can guard multiple positions but can also run the show.
"With Devin, you could put the ball in his hands or have him play off the ball. Because of that shooting ability, he stretches the floor. So it could be a scenario where it's really a two point guard lineup, and you have one guy that's more of the creator and passer, and another guy who can handle it but is also the shooter."
