Legion Expected to Sign With Kentucky

April 24th, 2007
Story Link:

The new charismatic Kentucky head coach is expected to get a letter-of-intent from Alex Legion, one of the top seniors in the country, within the next 24 hours.

According to Fox Sports, Top 50 prospect Alex Legion is expected to sign with Kentucky today. The 6-4 shooting guard out of Oak Hill Academy (Va.) was released from his letter from Michigan earlier in the month. Legion decided to leave Michigan when Tommy Amaker was fired and replaced by John Beilein.

This is a major coup for new Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie, who accomplishes in his first few weeks what Tubby Smith could never do: land a big time recruit.

After visiting Lexington this past weekend, Legion came away impressed. "It's a done deal," said Fox Sport's source.
