Five-star Bol Bol lands Kentucky offer

One of the biggest storylines coming out of the Indianapolis session of Nike's EYBL was the play of five-star big man Bol Bol.

Already ranked No. 7 overall in the class of 2018, the highlights posted above show how 7-foot-2 big man from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei has taken things to an entirely new level while playing with California Supreme this spring.

Holding offers from the likes of Arizona, Kansas, Oregon, St. John's, UCLA and USC, Bol -- who is the son of former NBA player Manute Bol -- told Rivals.com that he scored another big offer on Monday night.

"Coach (John) Calipari and coach (Kenny Payne) called me," Bol told Rivals.com. "Kentucky just offered me on the phone."

Averaging over 25 points and nine rebounds per game in EYBL play, Bol is positioning himself for a climb up the rankings and has a legitimate argument to be moved into the top two with current No. 1 Marvin Bagley III.
