Considered the best prospect in Kentucky's Class of 2012, Lexington Catholic freshman guard Jaylen Beckham has already landed two scholarship offers.

The 6-foot-1 Beckham claims offers from DePaul and Washington. He noted the DePaul offer came after the Blue Demons hired former Kentucky assistant Tracy Webster.

Beckham hasn't heard from new Kentucky coach John Calipari but said the old staff was "in contact a lot," and also noted he's been hearing from Indiana.

"But I am not in a rush to make any decisions," Beckham said. "I'll just let the colleges keep looking and I will keep playing as hard as I can."

Beckham averaged 11.1 points and 3.8 rebounds a game as a freshman.

Johnston: Even though you are only going to be a sophomore next season, they are a lot of colleges looking at you. What schools have been showing interest?

Beckham: I have offers from Depaul and Washington. I have been receiving letters from Arizona, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, SMU, LSU and a couple more.

Johnston: You mentioned Kentucky had shown some interest. Have you been in contact with the new staff at UK?

Beckham: I had a really good relationship with the old staff but I have talked with Calipari.

Johnston: What did Calipari say?

Beckham: He told me just keep working hard and that he would continue to look at me.

Johnston: Being from Lexington, how special would it be to play at UK?
