Anthony Davis: "Yes, Sir, I Committed To Kentucky"

In case you were waiting to hear it directly from the horse’s mouth, Anthony Davis confirmed to The Courier-Journal that he will wear Kentucky blue next season.

“Yes, sir, I committed to Kentucky and I’m excited,” Davis said.

The commitment gives UK potentially three of the top five players in the country and Scout.com national analyst Dave Telep said it was “not for debate” that the Wildcats have the top-ranked recruiting class in the country.

Davis chose Kentucky over Syracuse, Ohio State and DePaul.

Original Story

Anthony Davis, Jr. Commits To Kentucky Wildcats

Anthony Davis, Jr., regarded by many to be the top recruit in the country, has officially committed to the Kentucky Wildcats. Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio tweets:

It is now confirmed....Anthony Davis Jr, likely the #1 player in America has committed to Kentucky. Huge

This was expected, but it's still very good news for a Wildcats team that lost its core to the NBA draft.

Earlier in August, Kentucky was the subject of controversy when the Chicago Sun-Times reported that the university had paid Davis $200,000 in exchange for his commitment. UK vehemently denied the allegations and threatened to sue the Sun-Times, which later removed the article.
