    Kentucky will have another Calipari next year.

    Brad Calipari announced on Twitter that he will join #BBN next year as part of a blockbuster recruiting class ranked No. 1 by Scout.com.

    Jacque Rivera, head coach at the MacDuffie School (Mass.), confirmed that Calipari will be a walk-on under his father, Kentucky coach John Calipari.

    “Brad adds a depth at the guard position,” Rivera told SNY.tv. “He will be one of the team’s best shooters, if not the best. He also brings a great deal of competitiveness to UK. He will get after it every day.

    “Brad won’t be star struck as he is battled tested at the highest level of high school in the NEPSAC and grassroots on the EYBL.”

    The 6-foot-2 point guard averaged 13 points and 3 assists this season in 28 minutes a game.

    He joins a loaded recruiting class that already includes guards Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox and bigs Bam Adebayo, Wenyen Gabriel and Sacha Killeya-Jones.

    Kentucky remains in the mix for several bigs, including Marques Bolden, Jarrett Allen and Turkish star Omer Yurtseven.
