The Kentucky Wildcats' pursuit of Rawle Alkins is heating up.

Not long after receiving an offer from UK, Alkins has now set up a visit to Lexington for Big Blue Madness in October, according to Zags Blog:

Kentucky has amped up their pressure on Alkins since the first live period began last week on the five-star shooting guard from Middle Village, NY (Christ The King Regional). He's ranked No. 15 overall by Rivals, No. 22 by ESPN, and No. 12 by 24/7 in the class of 2016.

Alkins holds offers from Florida, Florida State, Indiana, Kansas, Louisville, Maryland, St. John's, and Villanova among many others. He joins five-star combo guard Kobi Simmons and five-star wing Miles Bridges in those attending Big Blue Madness.

Oh, and Drake will be performing at it as well.
