Matthew Mitchell Loses His Top 2017 Recruit

Bullitt East's Lindsey Duvall (12) makes a move on Butler's Jaelyn Penn (23). The hits keep coming for UK Hoops.  2017 Bullitt East High School point guard Lindsey Duvall has decommitted from UK and reopened her recruitment, according to her father. Duvall was a Top 10 player in America when she pledged to play for Matthew Mitchell.  Her career took a serious downward turn when a tumor was discovered on her left leg before her junior season.  She made an unexpected return near the end of the season before her Chargers fell to the eventual Sweet 16 Champs, Butler, in the Sixth Region Tournament.  She's currently ranked as the nation's #23 prospect by ESPN. It's only been five days since Mitchell lost his last player, Alexis Jennings.  If there's one silver lining from Duvall's decommitment -- at least it doesn't hurt them immediately?  The number of players on next year's roster remains at seven.
