Imagine if him and Parker go to Florida.

That'd be great. Kasey would have more people to lob it to

Florida, Kentucky, Kansas and NC State

Austin Nichols to Memphis. Pretty surprised, thought he was a Tennessee lock. Wish he would've picked Duke.

And so is his teammate, Mr. Chris McCullough! Man, Boeheim and Hopkins are working their asses off lately.

Dakari Johnson has reclassified from 2014 to 2013. What a class this is shaping up to be.


Please tell me UK is out of ships??

Pretty close to it :wink:

Unless of course Wiltjer, Harrow and Cauley-Stein all leave (not out of the question but at this point I doubt it). If that happens then we will have 11 schollies available (if Goodwin, Noel and Poythress all go). Doesn't matter though as you can only keep so many top players happy. My guess is that unless the staff feels like Cauley is gone after this year then they will likely not continue to pursue Johnson. If they did then its a good chance we get him as Cal has been on him for a long time and he loves UK. But there are a lot of "if's" between now and when he makes a decision.

Re: 2013 Recruiting Thread

As long as we continue to go hard after Wiggins, I'm good. First kid I've been truly excited about in a long while. Kid is a baller.

In the least surprising news, Meeks has named a final 2 of UNC & GTOWN. Expected once IU dropped Anya which lead to him heading to NC State.

UK/Cal will not let up on Wiggins and will be in it until the very end. Hopefully after the end too by him committing to UK :wink:

Oh hey, it's Kasey Hill. Welcome to Gatorville.

The level of ball control on his handles is...jeez. He has NBA level handles right now.

Wow...everyone else looks like they are in slow motion compared to him. I may be wrong, but the next 4 years or so of Gators hoops could be very, very special.

I just can't see Kyle leaving after this year. He's just an average player when his shot isn't falling. Very similiar player to Ryan Kelly, although I think Kyle has a much better back-to-the basket game.

Now WCS....can totally see him leaving after this year. He's 7'0 and runs like a deer. Still very raw but so was Daniel Orton....and I think Willie is twice the athlete that Daniel was.

I think at the end of the day, Cal gets Wiggins and then one from the Randle/Gordon/Johnson trio. Randle would be my first choice followed by Johnson and then Gordon. Johnson may be the more logical choice if Kyle is the only post player that returns.

Yeah, I agree about Kyle. He isn't going anywhere.

In order of importance between Randle and Gordon for me is, no order of importance. With the twins, Young, Wiggins and Lee, I honestly couldn't care less if we got Randle or Gordon. Both will be awesome and would fit into the system quite well. I like Johnson but I'm not sure where our interests lie at this point. I am still trying to get some info on that. But he is pretty slow and would seemingly not be good for the system/players that will be there next year.

All in all, I'm not worried about it with Cal at the helm.

This is what Gerald Green should have been coming out of high-school.
