As Kentucky center Eloy Vargas was signing autographs at an event in Bowling Green, Ky., on Saturday morning, a high school student approached him with an unusual request.
Natascha Richardson, a senior at nearby Gatton Academy, asked Vargas if he’d be her date to her senior prom that night.
“It was my turn to get an autograph and I was just like, ‘What are you doing tonight?’ and he was like ‘What are you doing tonight?'” Richardson told WBKO. “I was like, ‘You should go to prom with me’ and it just kind of happened.”
The 6-foot-11 Vargas agreed to be Richardson’s prom date on the condition that he could wear a sweater and jeans since he didn’t have time to pick up the proper clothes for the event. The twohad dinner together, snapped photos and even hit the dance floor before Vargas left to return to campus.
