Is UK looking good for John Wall?
Many more posts on the North Carolina point guard prospect, and the Pinkie will officially become the John Wall Blog. Nothing definite has come out on the visit between the two John’s (Calipari and Wall that is) in Portland, but there are people dropping hints all over the place that UK is in the lead, [...]
2009 UK Recruiting Targets Update
Well, the dead period ended a few hours ago, and this open period lasts until Sunday. This weekend the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic takes place, and the Nike Hoops Summit is going down in Oregon. Pretty much every recruiting target will be at one of these two events, so you can be sure there will [...]

Kentucky Basketball recruiting/roster update: Possible Calipari Additions
