Boston wasn't expected to commit this early to any program, but after his visit, he was blown away and made his decision rather quickly.
"How hard they work, their players and how connected the players are with coaches," Boston explained, when discussing the reasoning behind the swift and sudden move.
Kentucky was picked over several impressive finalists, including the Duke Blue Devils, Florida Gators and Auburn Tigers. Now, the perennial SEC power is simply reloading once again, as they always seem to.
