GOODWIN CHOOSES WILDCATS

Kentucky got on the board with the senior class in a big way: Elite Arkansas guard Archie Goodwin committed to the Wildcats over in-state Arkansas and many other high-major programs.

Goodwin is one of the nation’s most explosive scorers in the nation. His summer was curtailed by a gruesome wrist injury in June, yet he played in July and garnered universal respect for not only his talent but also for his toughness and willingness to play through pain. For Kentucky, his explosive forays to the rim will be invaluable in John Calipari’s offense.

Kentucky now will turn its attention more fully to other elite prospects, including No. 1 Shabazz Muhammad.
