Dynes’ decision came after a flurry of visits this week, including trips to Xavier, Kentucky , and Louisville.
In the end, the recruitment was down to Kentucky vs. Louisville, but the Wildcats weren’t willing to offer the same package that the Cards were, so they won out in the end. A 7-foot-5, 214-pound product of Simon Kenton High School in Independence, Kentucky, Dynes appeared in 30 games this past season for the Trojans, averaging 2.
9 points on 78. 8% shooting (35. 3% on free throws), 2.
3 rebounds, and 1. 0 blocks in 11. 9 minutes per game.
