Ivan Rabb, the 6-foot-10 2015 big man from Oakland (CA) Bishop O’Dowd and the Oakland Soldiers, enjoyed his official visit to Kentucky and is eyeing a springtime decision, his mother told SNY.tv Wednesday.
Rabb visited Kentucky last month and saw the Blue-White Scrimmage.
“I thought it was a really nice school,” Tami Rabb, Ivan’s mother, said by phone. “The coaching staff was great. It was a lot to think about from the perspective of the business decision. I enjoyed my visit there.”
Rabb had a tentative visit set for Kanas Nov. 7, but that didn’t work out for Tami.
“We had a tentative date set but it didn’t work out wih my employer,” she said. “I couldn’t get out of work.”
Rabb is also considering UCLA, Cal and Arizona, but the only date set is for Arizona.
“We have an Arizona date for Jan. 3,” Tami said, adding that they plan to visit all five schools “after January” when her work schedule slows down.
“We hear from every school on a regular basis,” she said.
On Cal: “I really like the coaching staff at Cal. They’re great people. I like Cal.”
On Arizona: “The coaching staff was recruiting Ivan since the ninth grade. We’ve had a long relationship with them and we’re looking forward to our visit there.”
On UCLA: “UCLA, I think what draws us to UCLA is that so many NBA players and NBA scouts are there.”
On Kansas: “Kansas, I know Ivan really likes Kansas a lot. I like the coaching staff and we just want to go see.”
Rabb is eyeing a springtime decision.
” I don’t believe he’ll commit until the spring,” Tami said. “He wants to play with some different guards in his class and he wants to see where they go.”
