Kentucky Wildcats Basketball: Recruiting Roundup

It has been a little more than a week since I dropped the last 2012 Recruiting Big Board update, and already there's been action without actual action. That is the nature of the recruiting beast. Like Twitter, the game of Monopoly, or ninja movements, it's all just shadow and speculation until it's not. Still, it's fun to keep guessing. Here's the latest pertinent recruiting nuggets from around BBN.

• The week started with Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports going on-air with Tom Leach, the Voice of the Wildcats. Goodman said he expects the recruiting dominoes to start falling as early as this week. Further, Goodman says he expects 2012 SG Archie Goodwin from Arkansas to be the first Kentucky commit. His quote: "Yeah, I think Archie Goodwin may be the first one to fall." Kentucky's primary competition on Goodwin is hometown Arkansas.
• That's interesting because Kentucky's other top target at the SG position is Ricardo Ledo. Mr. Ledo is currently practicing with the Puerto Rican National Team, the same team that one John Calipari happens to be coaching (scratched: see below). The rumor is he was offered a spot on the team, in which case he and Calipari should become quite close.
• From the land of not-so-good news, one of the falling dominoes mentioned by Jeff Goodman is a big one. That would be 2012 PF Kaleb Tarczewski, who may or may not be committing within the next 48 hours. The Kentucky target doesn't have an official offer from Calipari, and given that he has never visited, it's unlikely that decision would be pro-BBN.
