Kentucky's players did very well in the Nike Hoops Summit last night, and Kentucky fans ought to be very happy with the incoming recruiting class.  The USA Select Team coach says via Larry Vaught's blog that Michael Gilchrist is a tremendous player, and I totally agree with him.  On Friday, Tom Leach and I both agreed on his show that Gilchrist was the guy we couldn't wait to see from this recruiting class.

  Guess that whole Larry Brown thing didn't pan out.

• NCAA ruling still befuddles former Kentucky basketball recruit Enes Kanter :: The Courier-Journal

  Kanter said he'll finish out the semester at UK then head to Chicago to work with Tim Grover, the trainer whose most famous client is Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.

  Good for Enes.  Via Aaron's blog.

  I've been told that Wall is naive about this. Is Larry Vaught as well? I'm buying what Vaught's selling, but your mileage may vary.

• Teague Finishes 3rd for Mr. Basketball

  My guess signing with Kentucky didn't help Teague's chances of winning the award, but seriously, tied for 3rd??

  We saw this happen in Alabama with DeMarcus Cousins as well.  Don't tell me politics doesn't play a role.  To be fair, though, Scotty Hopson may have been a victim of the same thing a few years back when Darius Miller won it.
