There was also a long stretch of time where USC was the favorite for Preston because of his mother’s relationship with the school. Most people thought he’d end up there. Once he ended up at Oak Hill he “opened” up his recruitment up again. At that time he was considering USC, KU, Maryland, UK.
Syracuse got involved late, even getting him on campus and Indiana wanted him. He had plenty of programs after him despite him bouncing schools. When KU missed on Ayton, Preston got a lot of attention from Self and we ultimately signed him after he visited for Late Night. Ayton was the key to how we really got Preston. If KU had signed Ayton Preston goes somewhere else.
