April 9, 200917 yr According to KSR Calipari is hitting the road and will be gone untill Sunday. Here is hoping he sets up shop in North Carolina and brings Wall home to UK...............:thumb: http://new.kentuckysportsradio.com/?p=17137
April 9, 200917 yr He'll be doing mostly work on the 2010 class over the next 4 days. It's a much greater priority with the coaches not allowed at AAU events in April now...
April 9, 200917 yr He'll be doing mostly work on the 2010 class over the next 4 days. It's a much greater priority with the coaches not allowed at AAU events in April now... Who is he targeting this week?
April 9, 200917 yr Who is he targeting this week? I have a few guesses, but don't know any names for sure yet...
April 9, 200917 yr I'd say he'll be visiting Knight, Barnes, Ferg, & Josh Jackson. JMO. Joe Jackson? I'd also guess Roscoe Smith...
April 9, 200917 yr Joe Jackson? I'd also guess Roscoe Smith... Yeah, that's what I meant. Not sure where I got Josh....
April 9, 200917 yr If I had to guess, with no particular knowledge of the situation I would say Brandon Knight, Harrison Barnes, and Dominique Ferguson will be getting visits. But hey, I'm thinking big.

April 9, 200917 yr I believe with Meeks, Stevenson, Harris, Patterson (more than likely) and 1 or 2 more players leaving (Cousins, possibly Wall, you just never know), we could have 5 or 6 scholarships to work with. So he can really get a lot of new guys in. I would like to see guys like Ricardo Johnson, Ge'lawn Guyn, Elijah Pittman, Chad Jackson, etc develop and see 1 or 2 of them come to UK.

You think that all of those guys will be leaving this year?
April 9, 200917 yr You think that all of those guys will be leaving this year? We are talking 2010 recruiting. Keep up... :lol:
April 9, 200917 yr We are talking 2010 recruiting. Keep up... :lol: Heck, I'm still waiting on the 2009 roster to take shape. Typical young guys, always in a hurry to get or do something.
April 9, 200917 yr We are talking 2010 recruiting. Keep up... :lol: Thanks. I believe all 4 of those guys that I named would fit into Calipari's system. All 4 are very athletic and handle the ball. Jackson is the only 1 who doesn't shoot the ball that well, but hes a big guard and Calipari likes big guards.
April 9, 200917 yr Heck, I'm still waiting on the 2009 roster to take shape. Typical young guys, always in a hurry to get or do something. Calipari is out working on the 2010 class over the next 4 days, so we are talking about it. Blame it on him...
