It’s been all Tim Tebow and all NFL all the time this weekend, but quietly, it’s been a news worthy weekend in Kentucky basketball recruiting.

Yesterday was the first day that coaching staffs were able to make visits with 2010 recruits, and not surprisingly, John Calipari was on the road, meeting with Tobias Harris and his family in Long Island.

Busy 2 weeks on the horizon for Calipari and his staff

The fourth ranked point guard in the nation, Joe Jackson of Memphis, has confirmed to Jerry Meyer of Rivals.com that he will now consider Memphis, Tennessee, and Kansas.

2010 recruiting moving along, what will UK’s haul look like?
John Calipari, in nailing down the consensus top class for 2009, set expectations just a bit high for future recruiting efforts. It’s not that often that a coach will put together a class with two of the top point guards in the county, two of the top big men in the country, and two more [...]
