Key transfer target Lamar Wilkerson down to Indiana and Kentucky with decision upcoming
Lamar Wilkerson, one of the major transfer targets for Indiana, is down to two schools with a decision upcoming.
Multiple sources tell TheHoosier.com that Wilkerson is down to Indiana and Kentucky and that a decision ‘is highly likely’ to come this week.
Jack Pilgrim of KSR.com had the initial report.
Wilkerson visited Indiana on Saturday, Kentucky on Sunday and had a visit scheduled to Auburn on Monday before cancelling it on Monday afternoon.
As of Monday night, the feel around the recruitment is that Lamar Wilkerson is a Kentucky lean following his visit to Lexington, but no commitment had been made.
Indiana had all of the momentum heading into the end of the dead period last week but Kentucky made a major push to get a lot of steam heading into the visits.
