We are just one week from the start of the early signing period for college basketball’s Class of 2018.

I talked with my colleague Ben Roberts, the Herald-Leader’s recruiting writer and man behind the popular Next Cats blog, about where Kentucky stands with its top targets, including the newest one. Tyler Herro received a UK scholarship offer on Tuesday.

Ben also gives updates on Zion Williamson, Keldon Johnson, Quentin Grimes, Bol Bol and R.J. Barrett.
