CJ Leslie committed to North Carolina State on April 28th.

Terrence Jones, rated #13 overall by Rivals.com, committed to Washington on April 30th. But in a strange turn of events, Jones didn't sign his LOI but instead had a fifteen minute phone call conversation with Coach Calipari minutes after commiting to Washington.

Kentucky lost out on Josh Selby, who committed to Kansas.

Enes Kanter moves up to third overall spot in Rival's 150, and Brandon Knight slides to #6.

Kentucky misses out on Cory Joseph, who committed to Texas.
