I was sent a text from a friend about this. He got it from a tweet by Tom Leach. I hear he is a great kid. I did not think we would see any/many kids from Kentucky at UK.

I still think IU is the leader. Who knows. Nice for the kid to have options.

Here is the latest school to also be interested in him. From J Demling:

 

Bullitt East junior Derek Willis has been drawing a crowd.Add Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin to the list of head coaches that have been in to watch the 6-foot-9 junior work out.

Martin was expected at Bullitt East this afternoon.

Indiana coach Tom Crean, Louisville coach Rick Pitino, Kentucky coach John Calipari and Illinois coach Bruce Weber have all been in to watch Willis in recent weeks.

Coach Pitino watched him last night at the KOB.

 

Interesting to see his dad walking around with a UL hat on.

 

Kid has really nice skills. Very, very skinny though.
