September 26, 201412 yr 5* PG Isaiah Briscoe is visiting UK on Sunday. Cal was at his house this week. Love watching Briscoe. Tough, physical and knows how to win. Still need to improve his perimeter game, but there aren't many other flaws in his game...
September 26, 201412 yr 5* PG Isaiah Briscoe is visiting UK on Sunday. Cal was at his house this week. Looks like it will be an official visit. Taking a OV to UCONN on Friday and then heading down to Lexington after that I would guess. Had originally decided to take his OV during BBM or the Blue-White Game but I guess plans changed.

[h=2]Update on Henry Ellenson; Where UK Stands[/h] Henry already took his official visits to Michigan State and Marquette, and he will be in Lexington for Big Blue Madness on October 17th. Marquette hosted Henry this past weekend and former Duke Assistant Coach Steve Wojciechowski pulled out all the stops for the talented big man. Milwaukee Bucks rookie and former Blue Devil Jabari Parker and former Marquette star Steve Novak happened to be on campus to see the prized hometown recruit.

September 30, 201412 yr Author After doing an in-home visit with him a little over two weeks ago, John Calipari is headed back to Vegas tomorrow to see 2015 center Stephen Zimmerman, reports Evan Daniels. Cal will meet with Zimmerman at his school. This will be Cal’s third visit to see Zimmerman, the fourth by the UK staff. He’s considered the 4th best center and the 15th overall player in the 2015 class, and will visit UK officially for Big Blue Madness. Right now, his Crystal Ball is 42% UNLV, 32% Arizona, 16% UK and 10% Kansas. Zimmerman said that his visit with Cal two weeks ago was “great,” and the UK staff has made a big push for him recently. Zimmerman wrapped up his in-home visits last week, so is tomorrow’s visit with Cal a sign a commitment isn’t far away?

September 30, 201412 yr Author [h=2]Caleb Swanigan will visit for UK’s NBA Combine next weekend[/h] John Calipari’s NBA Combine is brilliant for many reasons, one being recruiting. The Combine, which will take place October 11-12 in the Joe Craft Center, is not only the perfect opportunity for recruits to visit Kentucky on a weekend other than Big Blue Madness, it is the perfect opportunity for the staff to further impress upon them the strong connection between the UK program and the NBA. Think of it as Cal’s “Build it and they will come” for recruiting this season. So far, it’s working. According to Paul Biancardi of ESPN, 2015 big man Caleb Swanigan will take an unofficial visit to UK on October 10 to see the Combine before taking unofficial visits to Arizona, Chicago State, and Michigan State later this fall. Swanigan is considered the third best center and the 12th overall player in the 2015 class, and so far, Michigan State is the runaway favorite. However, if there’s one event that will impress a recruit, it’s this one. Representatives from all 30 NBA teams will be in town just to see UK’s players. How many programs can say that?

[h=2]Isaiah Briscoe is still on campus[/h] After checking out the Women’s Clinic and hanging out with Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker, five-star point guard Isaiah Briscoe is still enjoying his time on UK’s campus. At today’s tipoff luncheon in Louisville, John Calipari told the crowd that he had to get back to campus to entertain a recruit, and by all accounts, it’s Briscoe. Briscoe is considered the top point guard in the 2015 class, and although it hasn’t been confirmed that he has an official offer from UK, it’s likely that he picked one up this weekend, or during Cal’s in-home visit last week. Kenny Payne made sure Briscoe was front and center for part of UK’s Women’s Clinic yesterday, and while we weren’t allowed to take pictures of him, he and his family definitely seemed impressed.

October 1, 201412 yr Author Briscoe Enjoys UConn, Kentucky, ‘Has a Lot to Think About’ Isaiah Briscoe is back in New Jersey after his official visit to Kentucky, which his EYBL coach Jimmy Salmon told Adam Zagoria left him “very, very impressed.” Briscoe visited both UConn and UK this past weekend, and Salmon said that while the “intimacy” of UConn appeals to him, he was wowed by “the machine” that is Kentucky basketball. We finally have confirmation that Briscoe picked up a scholarship offer during his trip, and before he headed to Kentucky, Briscoe said that he would be comfortable not being “the man” at Kentucky if it helps him get to the NBA.“I might not be the man [at Kentucky], but I will shine,” Briscoe told ZagsBlog, “and the spotlight don’t gotta be all on me and I don’t need all the pressure on me. At the end of the day if we win, everybody’s going to reach their ultimate goal, which is to go to the NBA.” Briscoe’s visits to UConn and UK gave him “a lot to think about,” and he has visits lined up to Missouri on October 11 and St. John’s on October 17. St. John’s is still considered the favorite in Briscoe’s Crystal Ball, but Kentucky has narrowed the gap to 38%/32%. http://zagsblog.com/articles/briscoe-enjoys-uconn-kentucky-has-a-lot-to-think-about/
