Last week after the NBA Players Association Top 100 camp, Doron Lamb took a trip to Lexington for an unofficial visit to UK. There was some thought that a commitment from the NYC native and current Oak Hill senior was forthcoming.

No commitment has come, but Lamb, according to Jeff Goodman, has declared that John Calipari and UK are the leaders for his services. With the commitment of Will Barton to Memphis, Lamb has become a top target. It looks like the high level of interest is reciprocal:

Doron Lamb sat out the session with an injury to his finger, but said he’ll play next week at the LeBron James Camp in Akron. Lamb, a combo guard who went to the Steve Nash Camp last summer, recently spent a couple days in Lexington on an unofficial visit to Kentucky.

“It was a great experience,” Lamb said. “The fans go crazy. I hung out with the coaching staff, John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, and got to see the practice facility.”

As for those who have said Lamb is close to committing to John Calipari, he says he’s “still open”, but that Kentucky “is at the top.”

Lamb has also visited Louisville and mentioned Kansas, Oklahoma, Marquette and UConn as other schools he’s considering.

If the last few months are any indication, John Calipari doesn’t get his man everytime, but he certainly stands a chance against anyone. Lamb’s quotes reveal the kind of momentum that high level commitments from players like John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins has built, and I would imagine that momentum will only grow once these guys hit the court.
