Kentucky leads for junior college star Roderick Flemings, the player’s coach said on Thursday.
Flemings, a junior college All-American for Weatherford (Texas) College, met with UK Coach Billy Gillispie on Wednesday night.
“It went pretty well,” Weatherford Coach Mark Osina said. “The kid seems pretty excited.”
Flemings visited Hawaii last weekend and plans to visit UK. That date has not been set, Osina said.
When asked if Kentucky should be considered the favorite for Flemings, Osina said, “That’s what I think.
“It’d be hard to turn down.”
Flemings, a 6-foot-7 wing, averaged a double-double this past season: 20.6 points and 11.7 rebounds.
