ATLANTA - Landmark Christian basketball star Randolph Morris will play for the Kentucky Wildcats. <br> <br> The seven-foot Morris spurned a scholarship offer from hometown Georgia Tech to join with fellow Kentucky signees Rajon Rondo and Joe Crawford, two of his teammates from the McDonald&#39;s All-American game. <br> <br> As a senior at Landmark Christian, Morris averaged 25 points, 16 rebounds and 4.5 blocks. He considered entering the NBA draft. <br> <br> Morris heard he ``possibly&#39;&#39; would be taken in the first round of the draft, and without the safety net of a guaranteed contract that comes with that selection, the decision was between the Wildcats and the Yellow Jackets. <br> <br> Morris wouldn&#39;t commit to more than one year at Kentucky, although he said he planned to eventually get his college degree.
