One of this year’s most anticipated recruiting decisions quickly turned awkward Thursday afternoon when elite prospect Carlton Bragg let his nerves get the best him during a press conference at his high school.
As Bragg put on the Kansas hat he had just grabbed from underneath the podium, the 6-foot-9 power forward announced that next year he planned to attend “the University of Kentucky.”
Bragg immediately realized his mistake and buried his head in his hands. Then with a sheepish laugh, he corrected himself, saying simply “Kansas, I’m sorry.”
Bragg, Rivals.com’s No. 14 recruit in the Class of 2015, is a power forward with the face-up skills to beat other big men off the dribble and the athleticism to run the floor and finish above the rim. He received scholarship offers from many of the top programs in the nation before narrowing his list to Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA and Illinois earlier this winter.
