    But seriously...it feels good to be back in the ballgame for these top recruits. One and Dones, Two and Dones, etc, doesn't matter to me....people are at least thinking about Kentucky again. Less than two years ago we were happy to get committments from players like G.J. Vilarino (Gonzaga backup PG), Dakotah Euton (will be a freshman at Akron next year) and Vinny Zollo (a kid that won't even crack the Rivals 150 for 2011). Crazy how one coach and one system changes everything.
    Yeah of course, y'all should be excited as hell. You're going to consistently get the best HS prospects for as long as Cal is there. You'll get to see tons of future NBA stars.

    But until Cal wins a title I will continue to provide some healthy ribbing on a regular basis, just to let you know.

      You guys despise Calipari, and I've come to the conclusion that he is REALLY in your heads sump fierce and takes up a lot of your time and thoughts.

        And I've come to the conclusion that you have a man-crush on him and defend him more than a UK homer.

                        I know my college basketball. I was obviously talking about recent memory...we were talking about the Calipari Era/one and dones. I'm not going to continue this argument, I have nothing to be mad about. Two titles in four years, (as of now) the top recruiting class, I'm good

                        Back to recruiting. Michael Gilchrist is ranked #1 in the nation, but have any of you guys actually seen him play? I've heard he has great work ethic/rebounding skills, but I really don't know much about his game. Dave Telep told me that he is on a completely different level than every other recruit in his class.

                          They've compared him to Kobe, but I think that's just because he's a 6-7 kid from Philly with great skills. I've heard his jumper only extends out to about 17 feet but that it's rapidly improving. He can handle the ball pretty good too.

                          I watched him play against Oak Hill this past year and he played mostly on the block. The kid is tenacious and goes to the glass hard...will probably play the '4' in Calipari's dribble-drive since he's such a good rebounder/defender for his size.

                            QFT. Would also add that while he has the skills and athleticism to be flashy, he isn't. Some people look at his stats or watch a game and think he is good but not as impressive as he is billed to be. He just is extremely versatile and flat out gets it done. Work ethic hat is unmatched and never takes plays off. He also has the chance to grow another couple of inches from what I understand but if not he has good height as it is.

                            Most scouts/analysts think he is the best in all of high school basketball, regardless of class. As good as he is now, his ceiling is still very high and he is nowhere near it yet.

                              If Terrence Jones chooses Kentucky over Washington, I'm going to puke. After losing Enes Kanter to Kentucky, who is a certified monster, I don't think I can stomach Jones going there either.

                              Washington did get a commit from a 7'0" 250 lbs athletic center Aziz N'Diaye. Should be nice to have a solid defensive presence in the low post.

                                I read that and thought you were going to be so distressed by it that you were gonna enroll at Duke. Glad I re-read it, cause that would've been really bad. I would've felt it was my duty to talk you off the ledge.
