16-Year-Old Towns Could Play for Calipari in Olympics
Karl Towns is a 16-year-old basketball prodigy who could play forJohn Calipari’s Dominican Republic team in this summer’s London Olympics.
A 6-foot-11 rising sophomore at St. Joe’s High School in Metuchen, N.J., Towns, whose mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, is Dominican, trained with the Dominican Senior National Team last year and has been invited to do so again this year.
------------------------------------------------------------
As for Towns, he has a long list of major Division I schools after him. Towns Sr. listed North Carolina, Michigan, Rutgers, Baylor, Syracuse and Villanova as just some of the schools involved.
“As you know, Kentucky’s always the top,” Towns Sr. said.
None of the aforementioned schools –except Kentucky — will host Towns this summer for Olympic training.
And only one school’s coach can potentially coach Towns this summer in London.
“You know,” Towns said, “Kentucky’s a great school. I already took a nice visit down there. I think the school is just amazing. It’s just seeing how the future unfolds for me."
