2012 Recruiting Thread

Re: 2012 Recruiting Thread

Anyone interested in 6'1 guard Kasey Hill or has he already signed/committed to a school? Kid can flat out ball.

UK fans are very interested in this 2013 point guard. Have read multiple reports he is down to three schools: Kentucky, Florida, and Louisville. Have to like UK's chances with him because he's coached by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's former coach.

I don't see it . . yet. UK's top Backcourt priorities are the Harrison Twins hands down. Frontcourt efforts are at Noel, Randle, and Parker. I think Calipari would cutt-off his index finger for the Harrison package. No way he's losing out on a 6'5 point guard! Hill might be a secondary if Cal losses his grip on Aaron Harrison, don't see that happening though

I've read that as well. I've also read that Hill, Randle, and another guy (Wainright) could be a packaged deal. At this point, I wouldn't rule anything out, including getting the Harrison twins, Hill, and Randle. We've seen him do it before with players who play the same position (Wall and Bledsoe).

I get the feeling that Randle has cooled on UK and UK may even have been transplanted by UNC as his frontrunner. The only think I can think of is that Randle was getting really frustrated by Calipari's sudden constant contact with Nerlens Noel and Nerlen's constant favorable comments and implication that UK is his frontrunner.

Despite the Randle/Noel juggling that Calipari is trying to balance, I still think the Aaron and Andrew Harrison's are the highest must get targets for UK. Who doesn't want a 6'5 point guard that can shoot the lights out??

In Calipari's perfect world, I think he thinks he can pull the Harrison's, J.Parker, and either Noel or Randle (His ideal ideal world would be both which would exceed Michigan's Fab 5 class by a longshot.)

Re: 2012 Recruiting Thread

I'm assuming our chances with Parker/Gathers aren't good because K recently extended an offer to Amile Jefferson.

Duke still has a long way to go to get ahead of NCSU on Jefferson though from what I have read. He is not the type of person to make a knee jerk reaction.

I've read that Jefferson/his parents called Duke and asked them to re-enter his recruitment, but I don't know how true that is.

I honestly think Duke whiffs on all four of their remaining targets (Muhammad, Gathers, Parker, Jefferson).

Oh, Kasey Hill (class of 2013: PG)committed to Florida.

Gathers.....

Ricardo Gathers said Baylor, St. John's, Florida and NC State are his favorites right now.

Gathers said neither Duke nor Kentucky have shown consistent interest. Calipari went to one game, Duke contacted him once.

Re: 2012 Recruiting Thread

TP apparently added UConn to his list. He's realllllllly milking the recruiting process and the attention it creates. I'd almost rather get Jefferson or Gathers at this point.

Parker has a much higher upside than Gathers IMHO. Although Gathers outplayed Parker head to head earlier this season...I think Parker is the better prospect.

I don't think Parker's coming off as a diva or milking the process. It's hard for these kids to focus with everyone and their mother coming at them.

I think at this point with UConn getting into the mix, you can pretty much scratch UCLA off Parker's list.

Anybody want a very confused PG on their team?

Rider source confirms former St. John's (and Arkansas) PG Nurideen Lindsey will now transfer to Rider. How bizarre.

Was a JUCO, went to St. John's, played 11 games, requested a transfer, left, annouced he was going to the University of Arkansas 5 days ago and is now going to Rider University.

Good luck........Rider.
