Big man Thomas Bryant visiting UK

Talented center Thomas Bryant will make a recruiting trip Friday to attend the University of Kentucky's home game against Boston University, adding another potential target to the long remaining wish list for the Wildcats in the 2015 class.

The 6-10, 230-pound Bryant, who attends Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, is rated five stars and the No. 28 player nationally by 247Sports.com. He's four stars and No. 31, according to Scout.com, and four stars and No. 36 by Rivals.com.

Bryant has taken official visits to Syracuse, Indiana and Missouri, and he said this month that he'd cut his list to those teams. Now he's apparently willing to add UK to the mix, although he's not thought to possess a scholarship offer from John Calipari at this point.

Bryant is from Rochester, N.Y., and Syracuse has been seen as possibly the team to beat.

UK has offered scholarships to Bryant's Team Scan club teammates Cheick Diallo in 2015 and Tyus Battle in 2016. Calipari and assistant Barry Rohrssen tracked Team Scan's games throughout July.

UK has a new commitment from five-star center Skal Labissierie but probably is seeking 1-2 more frontcourt recruits in preparation for a possible mass exodus of current players to the NBA draft.

UK is targeting five-star big men Stephen Zimmerman, Carlton Bragg, Ivan Rabb and Caleb Swanigan, as well as Diallo.

Huntington Prep also has five-star Class of 2016 forward Miles Bridges, who shapes up as a UK target over the next year.
