Update on Josh Selby and Kyrie Irving

Josh Selby according to Kevin Brockway of The Gainesville Sun is headed to Kentucky. Kyrie Irving's Dad wants his son to go to Kentucky to be with his godfather, UK assistant coach and former NBA player Rod Strickland. Irving was rumored to possibly be commiting to Duke soon but is now probably going to make his decision in November. UK is also in the running for another PG Brandon Knight as well as Josh Selby and it appears that Irving falls behind them on UK's list but we UK fans would love to have Kyrie Irving in Wildcat Blue.

Kentucky Football Gets A New Commitment.

3-star prospect Tyler Robinson has commited to the Cats to add on to the 2010 recruiting class. Robinson is a TE/DE. Tyler is 6'4 and weighs 250 lbs. He is from Alocoa, TN and attends Alcoa High School just like Randall Cobb and Kyrus Lanxter. Robinson also possesses a lot of similar traits of Randall Cobb's. If he can be just like those two guys, UK will be fine next year. UK has established a recruiting pipeline from Lexington, Kentucky to Alcoa, Tennessee. Maybe the blind Tennessee Volunteers will start to take some notice of the football talent coming out of Alcoa and UK plucks another one straight out of the Volunteer State. Here's what ESPN has to say of Tyler:

Robinson is a prospect who can offer a program some versatility. He plays both tight end and defensive end in high school and could be recruited for either at the college level. He has solid size for both positions. You wish he was a tad taller, but we still feel tight end may be a slightly better fit at the college level for him. On defense, he is a kid that carries good bulk and could be a tough run defender. He gets off the ball well and displays the ability to play in a football position with his power angles bent. He displays the ability to generate good power when taking on a blocker. He can be tough to block when he shoots his hands and creates separation, but he does need to be more consistent with his hands. Does a solid job of coming across the line, breaking down, locating the ball and reacting. He is a solid tackler. Displays good speed, though not a player that will likely run many plays down from behind. If a program has a need, Robinson could surely fill a hole as a defensive prospect, but the best fit might be on offense. He displays the tools to be a pretty solid well-rounded tight end. His best asset may be as a blocker. He is a good sized kid, who displays a tenacious attitude as a blocker. He does a good job of getting hands on and moving his feet. He can stay with and finish a block. You would like to see him close the distance more at times and get his hips under him. He needs to clean up his technique, but his physical style allows him to get the job done at the high school level. Does a good job of working up to the second level. As a receiver, he is not a kid that will likely stretch the field or run away from defenders, but he does seem to quickly hit his top speed. He has solid hands and displays the ability to use his big body to shield defenders. Robinson comes across as a blue collar, get-it-done type player.

UK is in the running for two other players similar to Jones; Tobias Harris and CJ Leslie.

Kentucky Takes A Beating From Florida 41-7 FINAL

Kentucky gets murdered by the Florida Gators once again. They have now lost 23 consecutive games to the Gators. To start all of the scoring off, with 11:13 to go in the 1st Qtr, Caleb Sturgis of Florida hit a 22-yard field goal for a 3-0 UF lead. Tim Tebow rushed for a 3-yard TD with 7:11 to go in the 1st and the PAT by Sturgis was good. 7-0 Florida. Chris Rainey recovered a blocked punt for a TD with 6:14 of the 1st Qtr left and Sturgis field goal was good. 17-0 Gators lead. With 2:15 to go in the 1st Qtr, Tebow rushed for another TD for 2-yards and the PAT was good for Sturgis for a 24-0 Gators lead. Right before the end of the first Qtr, Tebow threw a 44-yard TD pass to Aaron Hernandez. PAT was good for Sturgis. Florida leads 31-0 after a monstrous 1st Qtr. UK's only points would come when Mike Hartline threw a 2-yard TD pass to Ross Bogue and the PAT was good for Lones Seiber. Florida leads 31-7. Tim Tebow would have to leave the game during the third Qtr and be taken to the hospital after a hard sack. With 3:45 to go in the 3rd Qtr, Sturgis would again connect for a 32-yard field goal to increase Florida's lead 34-7. The final scoring would take place with 6:39 to go in the ball game when John Brantley and Riley Cooper hooked up for an 8-yard pass. The PAT was good for Caleb Sturgis and Florida wins 41-7.

Calipari Tells High School Coaches This Is Patrick Patterson's Final Season

Coach Cal has apparently informed some high school basketball coaches that this will be Patrick Patterson's final season this year meaning he has chose to forgo his senior season. Though their is no official word or announcement of this, it's not something we were looking forward to hearing about. Patterson is set to graduate and receive his degree after his Junior year of college. Staying for his senior year would force him to add the extra weight of finding another area to major in. Calipari is striving to teach Patterson how to play like a guard and work on Patterson's perimeter game because at 6'9, Patrick will have to be a scorer in the NBA and will be undersized in the low post of the NBA. Coach Cal wants Patterson to spread his game out on the floor and then move inside the low post to score when the game is on the line.

Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats Game 3 Preview

The Kentucky Wildcats are set to take on the #1 Florida Gators today at Commonwealth Stadium. The game will start at 6:00 PM and will be showed on ESPN2 or online at espn360.com. This will be the first SEC game this year for the Cats and the second for the Gators. The Gators team comes into Lexington with the flu so maybe UK's physical defense can rough up the Gators and possibly pull an LSU on the Gators and beat another #1 team in the nation. Not a likely scenario however, but you never can tell what will happen in College Football. Just hope that the Cats don't lose by 58 like last year to Florida.

Stacey Poole Announces Commitment Live On ESPNU Video

Stacey Poole COMMITS To Kentucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wait is over! Stacey Poole commits to UK live on the ESPNU Recruiting Insider show. It's UK's first commitment of the 2010 class. Poole is a 4-star small forward that has the skills of a shooting guard. His game will thrive even more in the dribble-drive offense Calipari's teams play. He plays high school basketball for Andrew Jackson High School in Jacksonville, Florida. He plays AAU ball for Team Florida. Hopefully he brings along Brandon Knight with him who visted Kentucky last weekend with Poole and both attended the UK-UL football game.

Knight Likes What He Sees At UK


Brandon Knight made his first Offical visit with Kentucky.

"Kentucky was his first official visit," said the player's mother, Turgenia Knight. "Of course, I had been there previously, but this was the first time Brandon and his dad got to see things. They really liked the campus. We had a wonderful time."

While at the campus, Knight talked with his host, John Wall.

"I'm sure he could relate," Mrs. Knight said of Wall's discussions with her son. "I think they had some private conversations about what it's like."

"Overall, I'd say it was very good," Mrs. Knight said of the official visit. "He enjoyed talking to Coach Calipari again about how he'd be utilized there. Coach Calipari was very straight-forward. Brandon likes that. He also told him that nothing is ever guaranteed and that Brandon would have to come in working hard and ready to compete."

"The main thing was being able to meet with all of the coaches in our home and make the visits," she said. "After that, it could be any time. It could be after one visit. It could be after two. Or it might be in the spring. I don't think Brandon ever decided 'This is definitely what I'm going to do.' Whenever it feels right to him, I think he'll decide."

Brandon Knight, and his family are now supposed to make a visit with Connecticut on Friday. Kansas is in the running, but there not sure as of now.

UK talking Josh Selby

John Calipari made an in-home visit with one of the nation's elite guards, Josh Selby. The Lake Clifton Point Guard from Baltiomore (Md.) de-commited from Tennessee this Summer, and is now looking for a new school. The 183 pound 6'2" Selby, is rated the No. 4 prospect in the Class of 2010.
"Things are going very well," said the player's mother, Maeshon Witherspoon. "They are a great group of guys with a success rate with players at Josh's position. That's what kind of separates them at the present time."
Selby has also been drawing recent interest from Indiana, Syracuse, Baylor, UConn, Florida State, Miami, Kansas, Texas and Oregon.

Former Kentucky Basketball Player Derrick Miller Wanted In Elizabethtown, KY.

Derrick Miller is wanted by Elizabethtown Police and two warrants are out for his arrest. Two people in E'town have contacted police about not receiving their UK basketball tickets promised to them for money by Miller. His two warrants are for two counts of felony theft by deception. E'town police were first notified and started to investigate the ticket scams several months ago. Both Miller and former UK basketball player Eric Davender were arrested last month for ticket scams facing similar charges. Miller played from 1986-1990 at Kentucky and ranks 42nd all-time on UK's scoring list and Davender ranks 11th playing from 1984-1988.

Landon Slone Wants To Re-Join The UK Basketball Team

Landon Slone has interest again in someday playing for the Cats someday. Slone, who earlier this year transferred to Morehead State re-enrolled at UK after three days of classes this fall semester. He was "cut" from the basketball team earlier by Calipari and did not get a chance to meet with Coach Cal. It's one of the few things people have criticized about Calipari for not meeting with Slone before cutting him. Calipari replied not knowing that Slone wanted to meet with him, so Landon hopes to get a chance to talk with him soon. Landon Slone says he doesn't expect to get to be back on the team this year because of how far the Cats are to this point but he would like to join on next year if possible. Eligibility would be unaffected if he were to transfer within the first ten days of class, so since he's back at Kentucky, he could get to play this year. Here's what Landon Slone had to say.
"I can't say I'll ever be able to play for Kentucky again," "I'd love to. No matter what it took." "I don't know if I was comparing it to Kentucky," he said about Morehead State. "I couldn't see myself being comfortable there. I couldn't see myself fitting in. ... I just didn't feel right. I felt Kentucky was my home." "I don't know if I lost a bit of my love to play, it hurt my want-to." "I have a certain love for Kentucky (basketball). It's hard when you love it as much as I do." "I don't expect to play this year. They're into it, and they're into it pretty far." "If I could play next year and finish my career up (at UK), it would be a great thing."

Former Wildcat Keith Bogans Signs With The Spurs

Keith Bogans inked a one-year guaranteed deal today with the San Antonio Spurs. Stacey Poole will be making his decision Thursday at 5:30 on ESPNU. Could he already be a Wildcat? These comments make it seem like the cat was let out of the bag. Read the following twitter exchange between Justin Young of National Hoops Report and Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports.
@justindyoung what has recruiting come to that the No. 58 player in the land is making his college announcement on national TV. Pathetic.

To which Young responded…

@goodmanonfox totally agree. but since he’s going to UK, makes sense…I guess. Biggest potential audience.

Stacey Poole Update & MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stacey Poole says that he will decide between Kentucky and South Carolina most likely tomorrow. He has eliminated Clemson off his list and it's just down to UK and the Gamecocks. John Calipari was watching a workout today of Tobias Harris at Dix Hills New York Half Hollow Hills West. Kyrie Irving’s final five schools are down to Kentucky, Texas A&M, Duke, Georgia Tech and Seton Hall. CJ Leslie has added another visit to UK scheduled for October 2nd. He is also scheduled to be joining Kyrie Irving and Achraf Yacoubou at Big Blue Madness on the weekend of October 16th. CJ Leslie was one of John Wall's high school teammates and remains a close friend. Leslie stated that he will be at Madison Square Garden in December to watch the Big East Showdown Kentucky and the UCONN Huskies. Louisville will host an NCAA Tournament game in 2012 and Rupp Arena will be hosting a 1st and 2nd round game in 2013. It's only fair that UK gets to play at one of these venues during the NCAA Tournament if they make the field of 65 because every year UNC and Duke get to play close to home in Greensboro, NC and nothing is said about that. However, there is sure to be something said about it if UK gets some kind of benefit like this and people have already been borrowing trouble. Watch this video to see what I'm talking about.
Catch some highlights from Saturday's win vs Louisville.

Stacey Poole To Make His Decision This Week

Stacey Poole said after his visit this weekend at Kentucky that he would be making his decision this week about where he will go to college. Poole was at the UK-UL game this weekend along with Brandon Knight. Stacey enjoyed the game, the athletic facilities, and the great fans of Big Blue Nation. He also noted how he enjoyed getting to hang out with the players and really is impressed with Coach Cal and the rest of the coaching staff. Poole's list of colleges contains three schools, Kentucky, Clemson, and South Carolina. There was a possibility that Stacey may have made his decision this weekend but his parents were unable to accompany him during his visit on campus so he says he will talk about his options with his parents and make a decision this week. This would be a huge first recruit for the 2010 class.

Kentucky vs Louisville

It's that time again when UK will meet up again on the gridiron with arch rival Louisville. Hopefully UK will lay a beating on Louisville like they are expected to do. Louisville has only gotten worse and worse since the hiring of Steve Kragthorpe and our on their way to three seasons with out a Bowl Game. The game will start at 12:00 PM tomorrow and will be televised on ESPNU. This hard-fought battle will take place at Commonwealth Stadium. Both teams come in with a 1-0 record.

Stacey Poole Considering The Cats

Poole says that if he likes what he see's he could be a Wildcat.div align="left">
"Yea that's an accurate statement," he said. "Kentucky is real strong right now, hard to beat. South Carolina and Clemson have been coming after me real hard, too, but I really like Kentucky. You know, it's the basketball school. When your talking about College basketball, it's them and North Carolina at the top. It's just a great basketball school with a lot of tradition, a lot of great players, and now they have a great coach, too."
Calipari made an in-home visit with Poole, Sunday. He was also in the home of a 5 star point guard, Brandon Night. He is expected to make a visit with UK this weekend.
"The visit went really well," Poole said. "It was great having Coach Cal and Orlando in our home. Coach cal said he's ready for me to come be a wildcat. He's not putting any pressure on me or anything, but he told me he can help me become very succesfull and that I would fit in with how they play. He told me he loves my agressivness, and the way I complete and finish, and that he can help me achieve my dream of playing in the NBA."
The 6'5" Junior 200 pound Poole, averaged 26 points, and 10 rebounds. He could really add to Kentucky's talent. It sounds like Poole is going to come to Kentucky, but we're not sure at this moment. Stay tuned.

Things Are Lookin' Good For The Cats

A huge recruit of the 2010 recruiting class for football, DE Derrick Bryant is visiting UK today. He can make an immediate impact to the football team just like John Wall will with the basketball team this year. Doron Lamb was quite pleased with his in-home visit with the Cats. Apparently Brandon Knight has a lot more interest in the Cats because he has moved up his in-home visit. Both Lamb and Knight were rumored to be having visits and Kansas. Neither Knight nor Lamb in his family confirmed this but everything has been made official with UK so it is starting look good for Kentucky on the recruiting trail. Calipari and the UK staff must be really busy today because according to kentuckysportsradio.com, UK has home visits with Stacey Poole and Brandon Knight on the 13th of September and that's TODAY!!!! I speculate that these recruits have the most interest in the Cats, Josh Selby, Stacey Poole, Tobias Harris, Brandon Knight, Doron Lamb, and Adreian Payne. There are a lot more recruits considering the Cats but I see these as the most interested in Kentucky.

Some important dates to follow:

September 15th: A home visit with Josh Selby.
September 19th: Kentucky/Louisville game, Stacey Poole and Brandon Knight are making official visits on campus at UK.
September 22nd: A home visit with Terrence Jones.
September 25-27th: Kentucky/Florida game, An official on campus visit with Adreian Payne.

Kyrie Irving Recruiting Update



Calipari and the coaching staff greatly improved their position with guard Kyrie Irving this past week with an in-home visit. Duke and Indiana are Irving's leaders but when asked if Kentucky is now on the same level with him as Duke and Indiana are, Irving replied, "Yeah they are." Irving had questions about what his role would be with the Cats and who all would be there if he were to commit to Kentucky. According to the source himself, Kyrie said that he learned everything he needed to know and all of his questions were answered.

Adreian Payne Update

Adreian Payne's visit went great according to his high school coach Art Winston from Jefferson High School in Dayton, Ohio. Payne himself was pleased with the visit. Both Payne and Winston thought the coaches were great and were impressed with them all. An official visit is planned for him to visit UK on September 25-27. The Wildcats football team will be playing a home game vs the Florida Gators and an upset victory for the Cats would do wonders to bring in Payne while he will be there. He will get to witness first hand how great and passionate Big Blue Nation is about their sports. Payne's list of college choices include Kentucky, Michigan State, West Virginia, Arizona, and Kansas. UK and WVU are said to be his leaders.

UK Reports A Minor NCAA Violation

Kentucky reported a secondary rules violation to the NCAA that included a former UK program assistant, Bilal Batley. In early July, Batley visited the UK practice gym to speak with a player about an academic situation. When he was there, he was seen gathering rebounds for one of the players. Kentucky decided it should be turned into the NCAA as a secondary violation. This is one of the smallest violations in the NCAA rule book so it's doubtful there will be a huge consequence, if any for UK. Batley joined John Calipari's staff at Memphis last year. He resigned last week at Kentucky to return home to Houston, Texas because of a family illness.

Big Blue Madness Date Set

Big Blue Madness date and time has been set for October 16th at 7:30 PM and will be televied on the Big Blue Sports Network. Doors will be open at 6 PM. After much speculation that Calipari may want to have Big Blue Madness at Commonwealth Stadium, it will take place at Rupp Arena as usual. It will take place on a Friday night right before a huge UK football game at Auburn. Other news and notes, the father of Tobias Harris says the in-home visit with Calipari went great last night. Billy Gillispie has checked himself into an alcohol rehab center called the John Lucas Athletes After Care Program and he says he takes responsibility for his actions and hopes to change his behavior going forward where Michael Beasley of the NBA's Miami Heat. John Calipari hired Brandon Weems, a friend of LeBron James to be a graduate student manager on the team. Calipari is visiting Stacey Poole on September 13th and Poole will visit UK on the 19th. Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports names John Wall as his preseason player of the year. Larry Vaught predicts that UK will sign two high profile recruits this coming November.

Marquis Teague UK recruiting update

Teague's list of schools, isn't getting, shorter...Nope. it's getting bigger. He has said he is now considering The North Carolina Tar Heels, and even though he hasn't recived an offer from UNC he's still hoping to visit their campus this Fall. He still has Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State Purdue, and Wake Forest. Wake Forest could be bumped of soon, because he hasn't had a lot of contact from them recently.


Here's what Teague has to say about his list of schools:


Louisville -"They've been there from the get-go, one of my first offers. I just love coach Rick Pitino and the style he plays. They like to run and get after you and blow people out. They don't want any close games, they just want to blow people out. He's going to push you and make you work hard. When (former Pike assistant and recently-hired Louisville assistant Shabaka Lands) was here, he was kind of a yell-at-you-scream-at-you type of coach. That's how Coach Pitino is. He'll push you and get the best out of you. I think (Lands) brought the best out in me and and I think Coach Pitino gets the best out of his players."


Indiana- "Coach Tom Crean and I have a real good relationship. When he calls, we talk about more than basketball. He'll ask me how my girlfriend is doing and how I'm doing in school. He's real cool. I have a good relationship with him. That's important. If you're going to play with somebody, you have to have a good relationship with them. You don't want to be bumping heads. I've seen his style at Marquette in the Big East and they like to run. That's how he wants to play at IU, he's just trying to get the people there to do it with."

Purdue- "I just came from Purdue (the weekend of Aug. 29). Assistant coach Jack Owens and coach Matt Painter are some great guys. They are fun to be around. I've been at many of their games and I like the way they coach. They don't hold E'Twaun (Moore) back or (Robbie) Hummel back. They let them play and that's how I like it. Their a good defensive team, too."

Kentucky- "Coach John Calipari is a great coach. You saw what they did at Memphis. He hands you the ball and just tells you to play. If you are good enough to go, you do what you do. He said he hands his main man the ball if they are good enough to make decisions to create for everybody. He's known for putting people in the NBA and that's what I want to do."

Cincinnati- "I really like their coaches; they are great guys. They've got Lance (Stephenson, a highly-ranked prospect from New York) up there and he's about to do real good. I talk to him sometimes. He tells me how it goes. He said the coaches are still cool when you get there, but they push you and that's what I want. When they get on that court, they let you play. They want to win. I work out with (former Arlington star) Deonta Vaughn a lot and tells me they let you play if you do the right thing with the ball."

Ohio State- "Coach Thad Matta doesn't really play that much of a fast pace, but he wants to change that and get up and down. He always has dominant teams. With Jared (Sullinger) and Deshaun (Thomas) coming in, he wants me to come in and run the point. He said he wants to change the whole style. He's a great coach and let Mike Conley make a lot of great decisions when he was there and lead the team. He'll tell the point guard to go out and lead the team. I hang out with Deshaun a lot and spend time at his house when I'm in Fort Wayne. Jared's really been trying to get me to come to Ohio State."

North Carolina- "Great program. They have a lot of championships. They are one of the best teams in the country, if not the best. Every year they have five or six All-Americans on their team. I haven't seen the campus yet, but my brother told me it was really nice. I'm going to get down there and visit whenever I get a chance and get to know more about them and their program."

Kentucky Rolls Over Miami-Ohio 42-0

The Wildcats showed a tremendous effort and improvement from last season. They started out the season with a 42-0 shut out over the Miami-Ohio Redhawks. It was the first shut out by Kentucky in over a decade. The action all got started off in the 2nd QT when Daniel Raudubaugh of Miami-Ohio through an interception to S Calvin Harrison. On that drive, Mike Hartline would throw a TD pass to WR Randall Cobb. Lones Seiber's extra point was good. UK has a 7-0 lead. The next drive would be another TD for the Cats. Derrick Locke would score a TD and the PAT was good for Lones Seiber. UK increases their lead to 14-0 on that drive. UK would end the 2nd QT with another TD. This time, it would be Mike Hartline throwing the TD pass to WR Chris Matthews. Lones Seiber's FG was good and UK would score 21 points in the 2nd QT. In the 3rd QT, Randall Cobb would run the ball in himself for a TD in the wildcat formation. Lones Seiber FG was good for a 28-0 Kentucky lead. Daniel Raudubaugh threw another interception and Trevard Lindley returned the interception for a 25-yard TD. The extra point was good by Lones Seiber and UK is now ahead 35-0. In the 4th QT, Moncell Allen ran in for a 9-yard TD. Lones Seiber FG was successful and won the game 42-0. The Wildcats next game will be the 19th at vs the Louisville Cardinals.
