6'6" DeAndre Liggins of Chicago has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at the University of Kentucky. Liggins will be a high school senior this fall and will enroll at Kentucky in the fall of 2008. Liggins is considered to be a major signing and is expected to be a McDonald's All-American this year. Every major scouting firm has Liggins listed as one of the top 30 prospects in next year's senior class. He is considered to be very versatile. It is thought that he is more than capable of playing in college at either guard position or at small forward. Liggins has the reputation of being an excellent ball handler and an even better passer. Some of the scouting agencies are a little concerned about his shooting ability which is something that Liggins has apparently been working very hard to improve.
Billy Gillespie has really impressed me with the signings of Patterson, Legion, and now Liggins. I can't remember being this excited about Kentucky recruiting since Pitino left.
