Recruiting Update:4/11

As of today, Xavier Henry and John Wall are the two top recruits in the country and they both have UK on their list because of new head coach John Calipari. Another top prospect, DeMarcus Cousins, committed to UK this past week, the same day that a scholarship was available due to Michael Porter quitting the team. He left due to personal reasons because he is now married and expecting a child. Cousins was the top rated C/PF, but was put as two different positions on Scout.com and Rivals.com. Daniel Orton is the other UK commit that is a low post player, he is the #3 rated C in the country. He is still of interest to Calipari, but it not sure if he can be used in the fast-paced DDM offense. There are now 13 scholarships for 13 players, for each player that comes, another will have to go. This will be an interesting soap-opera as we will see it play out.

  1. Damn that is going to be insane if Xavier Henry and DeMarcus Cousins are both on the same team. That team is going to be really good next year under the coach of John Calipari. I wouldn't doubt if they are predicted to be one of the teams to watch in the SEC next year. But I would never under estimate Florida, Tennessee, and LSU.
