Glynn Cyprien is slated to be named the newest assistant coach at Kentucky per the
Cincinnati Post.
During his 19 years as a collegiate coach, he has recruited12 players who have made it to the NBA, including Phoenix Suns' forward Shawn Marion, Boston Celtics guard Tony Allen, Toronto Raptors forward Joey Graham and Houston Rockets guard John Lucas III.
Cyprien's ties to the Lucas family are important to UK because the Wildcats are still recruiting Lucas' younger brother, Jai, a 5-foot-11 point guard who will be a freshman in college this fall but has yet to decide where he is going to school.
