Eric Bledsoe: What a get for UK
With John Wall still out on the market and considering UK, it would be easy to move on quickly from Eric Bledsoe’s commitment to UK. Wall is a tremendous talent and the most high profile recruit in the 2009 class. I am NOT denigrating Wall’s talent or trying to say that I don’t want Wall [...]
DeMarcus Cousins, John Wall on All-USA 1st Team; Daniel Orton on 3rd
Today the USA Today released their 2009 All-USA Boys Basketball Teams. F Derrick Favors, of Atlanta, is heading for Georgia Tech and was named Player of the Year.

Daniel Orton re-re-reaffirms commitment to UK
I think we can finally put to rest all the speculation that Daniel Orton may back out of his LOI to Kentucky. Zagsblog has an article with quotes from Orton that explicitly state that UK is his school. Also, the article is a great read because it features quotes from Orton and DeMarcus Cousins about [...]
DeMarcus Cousins signs Kentucky LOI, UK holds final practice
Coach John Calipari announced today that big man DeMarcus Cousins of LeFlore, Alabama has officially signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball for the University of Kentucky. There’s been a lot of joking that he’s on his third commitment (UAB, then Memphis, now UK), but he’s never signed an LOI. Cousins is Calipari’s [...]
Cross Kansas off of John Wall’s list, UK still looking good
Late last night, ESPN reported that Cole Aldrich and, more importantly, Sherron Collins, will return to Kansas next year and not enter the NBA draft. Typically, news about another college basketball power getting its two best player back for a possible national title run is bad news, but this is a crazy time to be [...]
KDFC/Nike Hoops Summit Weekend Wrapup
I mean, wow. This kid is beyond special. He reminds me of Derrick Rose and he reminds me of Rajon Rondo, but truthfully, he’s a more explosive athlete than both, and that is quite a statement. I don’t know if you had a chance to see the Nike Hoops Summit game, but it was fun [...]

There is lots of good stuff, but here are the highlights: DeMarcus Cousins After talking about all the positive experiences he should expect while at [...]
Where in the world is John Calipari?
Courtesy of Rockapella Coach Calipari had but four days starting yesterday to visit with recruits in person and, clearly, he intends to make the VERY most out of that time. I reported yesterday that Calipari was heading to Portland to see UK commit DeMarcus Cousins and fellow Nike Hoops Summit participants John Wall and Xavier [...]
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, [...]
