LEXINGTON, Ky. — The second time was the charm for Kentucky and Robert Dillingham, who announced his commitment to the Wildcats on Friday night, presumably ending a recruitment that has already taken a few twists and turns.
Back in the fall, UK hosted Dillingham — a 6-foot-2 guard from Hickory, N.C. — for an official visit, extended a scholarship offer, and looked primed to land his commitment in relatively short order. Then, North Carolina State swooped in with a last-minute flurry and got him instead.
That pledge lasted only a few months, however, with Dillingham reopening the process in mid-March and Kentucky quickly emerging as a possible favorite once again.
