DeAndre Liggins a Wildcat

Rivals among other sources are saying that five-star recruit DeAndre Liggins will commit ($$) to play for the Kentucky Wildcats.

Rival notes that his mother is saying that DeAndre has decided to play for coach Billy Gillispie.

Not really much on this yet as it’s breaking, but indeed a nice pickup for the Wildcats.

More info as it becomes available.

Update: It’s now being listed as a verbal commitment.

He must have indeed been very impressed with Kentucky after his visit, as mentioned on my post from Monday. (Enough to commit so soon after visiting)

As noted in Monday’s post was this link on his thoughts of the visit to UK and how he spent his time there.

Another Update: Here are some links covering the verbal commitment of DeAndre Liggins.
