With the announcement Friday that Kevin Knox was leaving for the NBA, and the expected announcement Monday night that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was headed in the same direction, the Big Blue Nation was looking for some good news. That good news arrived Monday morning.
After a report from 24/7 Sports Monday morning, five-star prospect E. J. Montgomery made it official on his Instagram account that he would be coming to Lexington to play for Kentucky. In the social media post, Montgomery was seen in a UK jersey with the quote that he is “rocking Kentucky blue.”
Montgomey, who is from Marietta, Georgia, picked UK over several schools, including North Carolina and Duke.
