Blakeney was rumored to have interest in the University of Kentucky once he opened up his recruiting once again and now it’s clear how real that interest is. Yesterday it became known that he plans to visit Kentucky for Big Blue Madness later this month.

Blakeney is a 5 star shooting guard from Sarasota Florida and is the third ranked shooting guard in a loaded 2015 class. Blakeney also has scheduled visits to LSU and Missouri later in the month and some consider LSU the front runner at this point based on his relationship with number one overall recruit and LSU commit Ben Simmons.

Some jumped to assume that Blakeney was a shoe in to commit to Kentucky after he decommited from the Cardinals and while it is still far from a sure thing, getting him on campus for Big Blue Madness has to make John Calipari feel all the more confident that it could become a reality.

While Blakeney’s relationship with Simmons could be a plus for LSU, some media members have been talking about rumors of Simmons possible re-opening his recruitment as well.
