Hey! Not everyone has a Josh Pastner as their coach!

Louisville adds Elisha Justice to the class. 5'11 PG who was Kentucky's Mr Basketball and Gatorade Player of the year.

They named that boy Elisha???

It's pronounced E lie sha (close to Elijah), which is infinitely better for a male than Eh lee sha (similar to Alicia)

I figured it had to sound like Elijah. Thanks for that tidbit.

But.....wouldn't it had been easier to name him Elijah? Just sayin'

Lavin signed his first kid at St. John's, Polee.

Kid's gotta be the best athlete in the class, even if he sucks at the game of basketball.

Cal did the same thing. He'd have the class wrapped up in the fall and spend the Spring working on the next one.

I'm hoping that starts happening again. These late signings have added to many greys to my hair!

Re: 2010 Recruiting Discussion Thread

no idea why he didn't have more signed in the fall.

Because when your entire team is built of "one and done"s, you have to make sure they're "done."

Obviously Cousins and Wall were gone, but Orton, Bledsoe, and possibly Paterson had decent chances to return.

So on the Terrence Jones saga, are his chances of landing at Kentucky growing dimmer over time? The young man has me confused.

Your guess is as good as mine. Jones could wait until August to make up his mind technically. I've already moved on in my mind....he picked Washington and I think he sticks with it.

UK is in good position land Eloy Vargas, a 6-10 JC center who originally played for Florida. He could be a good backup to Enes Kanter or play next to him. UK and UNC are also battling for Kadeem Jack, an athletic 6-8 forward from New York City who had planned on going to prep school until both teams (who are in need of some more frontcourt bodies) started calling. Oh, and there's a rumor going around that Calipari has contacted Royce White, the former McDonald's All-American who signed with Tubby at Minnesota but never played for them after getting into some legal trouble.

Re: 2010 Recruiting Discussion Thread

UNC hasn't offered Jack, so we'll see where that goes. The Heels are certainly evaluating their options to get another post player though.

Re: 2010 Recruiting Discussion Thread

Nobody knows a thing about Terrence Jones, honestly. I'd say it's just 50/50 at this point. Dude definitely doesn't know what he wants, and that's fine. I just do hope he makes a decision at some point, one way or another.

Re: 2010 Recruiting Discussion Thread

Eloy Vargas commits to UK today. From what I understand he still has some credits to make up in summer school but most think he should be eligible. Meyers said the other day if UK got Vargas then he would likely move UK class to #1.
