Kentucky has Interest in Beas Hamga

Kentucky is looking to land Beas Hamga, a 7 foot center out of Decatur (IL) Christian. Hamga was set to go to Iowa, but with the departure of coach Alford this changed.

He was originally to be out of the 2008 class, but there is word that he may get reclassified, and therefore be available for the 2007 class. (This is reportedly is the process)

He’s primarily known as a defensive beast with comparisons to a young Emeka Okafor. If he is indeed available for the 2007 class and signs, this would be a good pickup for the program.
