There's now a Kentucky pick in TyTy Washington's Crystal Ball...

Listen closely. Do you hear that? It’s momentum, and it’s finally swinging Kentucky’s way.

Travis Branham, an analyst for 247 Sports, logged a prediction in five-star point guard TyTy Washington’s Crystal Ball this morning, and it’s for Kentucky. His level of confidence? Seven out of ten. He explained the pick to Chris Fisher of CatsPause.com.

“We are still over a week out from the TyTy commitment but as of now signs are pointing that the five-star prospect will land with Kentucky,” Branham told CatsPause.com. “The fit makes sense here given the huge opportunity he has to come in and take the reins at the point guard spot in Lexington and Cal’s track record of success with guys in his position.”

The only other submission is from WildcatAuthority.com’s Jason Scheer, who picked Arizona back on April 24. Since then, Washington has set his commitment date, May 15, and held Zoom calls with coaches from Kentucky, Arizona, and Kansas. If Branham’s prediction is any indication, John Calipari’s pitch went well.

ICYMI, yesterday Washington jumped from No. 33 to No. 16 in 247 Sports’ new 2021 rankings. He’s now considered the third best point guard in the class by the recruiting service behind only Kennedy Chandler (No. 8) and JD Davison (No. 13).

From one TyTy to another, come on down.

UPDATE: Andrew Slater, a recruiting analyst for The Athletic, just added fuel to the TyTy to UK fire on Twitter, with this “It’s over” GIF…
