UK Basketball Staff Will Visit JUCO Star Ricardo Ratliffe

Dave Telep of Scout.com reported earlier today that representatives from Kentucky would visit Ricardo Ratliffe, the nation's top-rated JUCO basketball prospect.

I contacted Ricardo and he did confirm that the Kentucky staff will visit him this week.

He added that his JUCO team, Central Florida Community College, is now sitting at 14-4 on the season and playing better lately.

Ratliffe is a 6-8, 225 lb. power forward that is receiving looks from several high-major programs including several in the SEC and Big 12. He lists Kentucky and Louisville as schools that are recruiting him.
