High school basketball season is finally kicking into full gear, and we’re already seeing why Coach Cal fell in love with Kentucky’s three early signees.
Keldon Johnson, Tyler Herro, and Immanuel Quickley are all putting on shows, with some pretty impressive highlights to prove it.
Johnson finished with 31 points and ten rebounds this afternoon, including some pretty ridiculous dunks. Check it out:
