….. but it still sucks and I was hoping it wouldn’t happen.

Let’s hope Cousins can get qualified and Pilgrim is as good as advertised. We’re gonna need them both to contribute immediately from day 1.

a scholarship is available for Walls?

Per his father. Frontpage.

Nolan Dennis has asked out of his LOI with Memphis, and likes UK.

getting a headache, LOL.

I almost just want to completley ignore all news, rumors, and reports, and check back in mid-June for the final tally.

I’m just glad that the quality of players involved in our current discussion, whether coming or going is about five times better than what we’ve been used to over the past ten years.

That he also has not totally ruled out Kentucky, just that he would be listening to all offers. I do hope we end up with him in the end. I have really been looking forward to this kid.

As others have said, he is has asked out of LOI at Memphis and his mom says she thinks he likes UK. This guy sort of flies under the radar when you hear the names of Cousins, Henry and Wall but Dennis is for real. He is a Top 50 recruit. At 6’5" 185 pounds he can slash, shoot and will only get stronger. He could be a huge plus for UK because of the guys mentioned, he is more than likely at least a 3 year player. Keep your eye on this guy.

carousel that is a coaching change. We will be hearing this stuff until every recruit is signed and cleared and passes his first semester’s classes. Any way you look at it we are right now better than we have been in 5 years. Think about it…..worst case scenario…..we get a new point guard ( even if its Bledsoe, he’s the #67 player in the nation), we get some MASSIVE help down inside……we get a coach that can handle whatever comes up, and we are PROBABLY going to get Meeks and Patterson back….(I just cant see them doing that well in the draft yet). This team will be the Beast in the East once again….and I dont see the SEC West producing much next year.

is reporting that Dennis Nolan is asking out of LOI at Memphis.His mother believes he wants to sign with UK : )

Here’s the story straight from Larry Vaught who has a good relationship with Larry Orton. I heard him being interviewed by Dick Gabriel on the way home.

Days after G was fired Larry Orton called UK but Mitch wouldnt return his call so he spoke to Sandy Bell. The Orton’s asked to be let out of the LOI at that time. Since Mitch was unavailable and UK had not yet hired Cal Bell asked the Ortons to be patient and wait until they spoke with the new coach before requesting a release and if they still didnt want to come at that time UK would release him. So the Ortons waited. According to Larry Orton they havent said another word about it and only learned about the Cousins commit last night. When Vaught spoke to Mr. Orton Mr. Orton was unaware that Daniel had spoken to Evans. Larry Orton called Daniel then called Vaught back after speaking to his son. Larry said that Evans didnt get it straight from Daniel what happened and that they still were committed but wanted to talk to Cal more and find out how he plans to use both players. So thats the story. No decommit and Orton is still playing this weekend.

But with Porter gone and Vilarno out,something tells me we have a stud point guard waiting.

Anyone know the rule governing the number of red shirts a D1 team can have at a time?
