April 27, 200719 yr Not really, we'd have two spots open for the likes of Miller and Warren.... And if we took both of those guys we'd have 0 spots for 09, a class for which we already have a top PG committed.
April 27, 200719 yr That would be HUGE...but there are us UK fans getting overly excited about perhaps nothing... Who cares it's called UK basketball recruting! Just have fun with it!
April 27, 200719 yr And if we took both of those guys we'd have 0 spots for 09, a class for which we already have a top PG committed. This is what Jerry Meyers of rivals had to say about GJ Vilarino. I'm not sure he's rated as high as some may think. I'm not saying he's not going to be good or isn't good. I also am very aware that in 2 season a player can get better and most do. That beeing said, if he is getting better then the other PG's in the class are too. Vilarino is probably on the bubble for the top 100. It's hard to say if he will be a four-star or three-star. He needs to improve his athleticism and his shooting. As a point guard, he has a nice feel for the game but he needs to be explosive enough to get past people and a good enough shooter to keep the defense honest. The article is a free article or it was at the time I read it. LINK

If he uses all available schollys the next two years, somebody is going to have to leave to make room.

April 27, 200719 yr Author I hope you mean NAZR Mohammed. After the recent changes the program is currently going through, we can't afford a holocaust on top of it. HAHA thats classic.
April 30, 200719 yr Sounds like Beas has his eyes set on trying to be an 07 recruit and UK leads for him. His high school coach said a while back that he was 99 percent sure he wouldnt an would be an 08 kid, but its his AAU coach that is his mentor and guardian.
April 30, 200719 yr New article on Rivals today, here's a few quotes from the article: "Right now I have a bunch of schools, Kentucky, Indiana, Memphis, UNLV, New Mexico," said Hamga. "Those five but the school I like the most right now is Kentucky. But I don't know yet." The big center says some of that indecision comes from developments the past week that could push him towards college this fall, a year earlier than expected. "I just passed my SAT test scores," said Hamga. "I am a junior but I am looking to graduate this year. My grades are good and my SAT score is also good, so I really have a chance to graduate this year and play college (this fall). I really have a good chance." Hamga is already a year older than most in the Class of 2008 as he turns 19 years old at the end of July. This past year he played for the private school Decatur Christian in Illinois. Hamga came to the United States a couple years ago from the African country of Cameroon and according to some of the Indiana Elite program people, obtaining credit for some past academic work in his home country is the first option to getting that early graduation. If that doesn't come to pass, the big man might also be able to graduate this summer by taking and passing some online coursework.
April 30, 200719 yr I'd almost rather get him and Sanchez than Patterson and Lucas.. 2 big kids that can play right away.. Don't get me wrong, I'd still like to have PP and JL, but, these 2 are about as close to an even swap as you could hope for at this point in the recruiting process. Does anyone think we would end up with Legion, Sanchez and Hamga if Tubby would have still been here? I give BCG alot of credit for hitting the road hard and at least having options, regardless of the final outcome...
April 30, 200719 yr What kind of time line are we looking at with Hagma ? It sounds like he's made his mind up about being a wildcat either this year or next. I think we end up with this kid no matter what year he graduates but it would be nice to have him this year.

I think we end up with this kid no matter what year he graduates but it would be nice to have him this year. Not sure. He still has some work to do to reclassify to 07 and that includes a summer class. Not sure if we will have a decision before then or if we will have to wait before he fully qualifies for 07.
