Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.
Humphries is a 6’11, 250-pound big man who came to the United States to play for Indiana prep school La Lumiere. He’s rated as the No. 50 player in the 2016 class by ESPN. Humphries is known as a low post scorer.
Humphries would join a Wildcats front court that already includes senior Alex Poythress, junior Marcus Lee and freshman Skal Labissière, who is expected by many to be a top pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. Kentucky is also expected to add New Zealand freshman big man Tai Wynyard for the second semester of the season.
Kentucky’s incoming freshman class also includes five-star guards Jamal Murray and Isaiah Briscoe, as well as four-star wing Charles Matthews. Earlier in the week, Calipari added Sacha Killeya-Jones, a 4-star big man in the class of 2016.
