Rick Barnes said Myck Kabongo has all the tools to become the next great point guard for a program that has produced standouts such as T.J. Ford and D.J. Augustin. 

"He's somewhere in between those two," Barnes said of Kabongo. "He's extremely fast like T.J., but T.J. would pace his game. Myck is a more full throttle. Forget the cruise control. He'd be great this weekend at Talledega. He can beat everyone down the floor with the ball, but he's going to learn to change his pace from time to time so our team can get into a flow." 

Kabongo played high school ball for hard-nosed coach Dan Hurley at St. Benedict's Prep. 

"He got me ready, mentally," Kabongo said of Hurley. "Some of these [freshmen] have never been at schools where coaches are going to get after them every day. That's what Coach Barnes does. I just let the young guys know, ‘You can't take it personal. It's part of the game. You've got to be coachable. You can't let what he says on the court affect you off the court.'" 

Barnes couldn't say enough good things about Kabongo's attitude -- "I've never seen him in a bad mood."

Justise Winslow, one of the top 20 prospects of the 2014 class is now receiving interest from Kentucky.

Arizona, Houston and Baylor are “showing the most interest,” while he also has offers from Arizona State, Florida, Rice, Texas and Harvard.

“A lot of schools, I just have to stay humble and not let it all get to my head,” Winslow said. “I’m going to wait around and see how it plays out.”

Winslow's father Rickie Winslow was a member of Houston's famous Phi Slamma Jamma team and a first round pick in 1987 by Chicago.

“I know about Kentucky,” he said. “I know it’s the dribble-drive (offense) and most of the guys are one-and-done when they go there.”

Andrew White will make an official visit to the Louisville campus this weekend.

White is a 6-foot-6 shooting guard.

"I am looking forward to it," White told The Courier-Journal. "I have been to Kansas and last weekend I went to West Virginia. I still have a long list of schools, I haven’t narrowed anything down yet on paper. But in my mind, I know what I am looking for."

White is ranked No. 51 in the class by ESPN.com, is No. 52 by Scout.com and No. 56 according to Rivals.com. He is also planning a visit to Texas.

"I kind of noticed I would really fit well into coach (Rick) Pitino’s system," White said after watching some U of L film and talking to Pitino and assistant coach Kevin Keatts. "I saw a lot on film, and some things that I have researched, and a lot of opportunities for shots because they can break people down and get into the lane."

Connor Lammert, a 6-foot-9 power forward from San Antonio Churchill, has committed to texas for the 12-13 season.

Lammert also visited Texas Tech and Vanderbilt.
