    2011 Recruiting Discussion Thread

    Lets try this again.

    On Duke's front, they got huge news when Austin Rivers decommitted from UF. Duke is likely the favorite.

    4* big man Tyler Adams has said Duke is his leader and might commit shortly.

    Other targets for Duke include big men Amir Williams and Johnny O'Bryant. 4* SF Michael Gbinije is already committed.

      Gilchrist committing a year early is surprising with the high turnover rate in college these days. I guess he could back out of a verbal if he feels like it.

        I doubt he's worried about Cal leaving. Will be completely shocked if the kid doesn't put on the Kentucky cap tomorrow.

        UK might as well be considered a developmental league team with all the one and dones they're going to have come through there under Calipari.

            Oh, OK.

            Well if thats the case, the same thing will more than likely apply next year, with Kanter and likely 2 or 3 more freshmen leaving.

              I hate Duke, but if Mir goes there I will have to swallow my pride.

              That said, everyone in the family thinks he made his decision, he just isn't telling anyone (not even us). Me and my grandma think he is just waiting for Kentucky to give the official offer.

                I am sure Cal has evaluated most players, as do most high major coaches, but I have not heard his name brought up in any of the UK recruiting circles.

                  He took an unofficial down there near the beginning of the year, and while he probably isn't on their main radar right now, I think with another strong AAU season he probably can get that offer.

                  It's still early though, so we just have to wait and see.

                        We'll have to see how many schollies we have for 2011. With the potential of the NBA lock out, coupled with the 2010 class and who will actually be a one and done, there are still questions as to what schollies will be available. If we can get Teague to go with Gilchrist, possibly Quincy Miller and Damien Leonard, who knows?

                        But I don't count out Cal with anyone. If Williams has a good AAU ball and fills a need, Cal will definitely go hard after him if he wants him. Doesn't mean he will get him, but he would try.
