Lucas made a visit to the bluegrass and was much coveted after by our coach Billy Gillispie and Florida's Billy Donovan. Another great prospect 7ft. Beas Hamga made his decision to play for UNLV, I wish these guys the best of luck in their season and know that in the game you have to weigh all your possibilities and pick the school where you can or believe to reach your full potential.
