This from a Kentucky Paper:
Morris the Cat?
We should know by the end of this week whether big man prospect Randolph Morris signs with Kentucky or Georgia Tech. Or if he's decided to skip college and enter the NBA Draft.
Morris, a 6-foot-10 player from the Atlanta area, has set next Friday as the date to announce his plans.
From what Oak Hill Academy Coach Steve Smith hears, Morris will sign with UK. Oak Hill star Josh Smith, who also is from Atlanta, has been lobbying on UK's behalf. Why? Because one of Josh Smith's Oak Hill teammates, Rajon Rondo, is UK bound.
"Rajon is (Josh Smith's) best friend," Steve Smith said. "If Randolph goes to Kentucky, that will make (Rondo) that much better."
As Josh Smith apparently sees it, Kentucky has sewn up Morris. "Josh is taking credit for it," Steve Smith said.
