Good morning, BBN!
Things are about to pick back up in terms of recruiting for college basketball as the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline is quickly approaching. For Kentucky Wildcats fans, the most important decision comes from center Malachi Moreno.
Things seem to be trending in the right direction for the Georgetown native to return to Lexington, but a first-round guarantee could still be on the table, meaning what once seemed like a lock is now still up in the air.
With plenty of speculation swirling, one prediction might help ease the minds of the BBN. That comes from the voice of the Wildcats in Tom Leach.
Leach joined BBN Tonight this week and had this to say when asked about making a prediction on the future of Moreno;
“I’m still where I have always been. I always thought he would be back at Kentucky next season. I think that makes the most sense, and I continue to feel that way. So hope I’m right,” Leach said of Moreno.
Once again, a return from Moreno would be huge. Let’s hope we get to see him back for his sophomore season.
