Kentucky had a big win yesterday, and John Calipari's "tweak" was a rousing success. Will it carry over to today? Let's hope so.

Report from the Elite 11 camp in Orlando: UK recruits Francois and Israel do well. Hank.

News about Nike's Orlando National Football Training Camp also has several UK recruits mentioned. Hank. Bud Elliott of SB Nation has his review here, and it is not as positive about Israel but gushes about Francois.

John Clay writes about the big Wildcats victory. Calipari still hasn't officially revealed his tweak, but I'm confident I have it right. We'll see.
-
Calipari's comments in Q&A format. Consider:
CALIPARI: "You say that, but I'm telling you, Julius missed at least six like right at the rim. Instead of going right at the rim, he was going like this (Indicating). I don't know why he was doing it. Maybe because the last time we played them down at LSU he got eight shots blocked. So maybe that's why he was doing it.

Nick Gray, like me, figures out the "tweak," or at least the effect of it.
-
WCS said the defense felt like they had "...eight people out there." That was mosly because of Willie, who guarded everybody well.

Which Kentucky team will we see most in March?
It's impossible to say whether Kentucky's 85-67 victory against LSU in Friday's SEC quarterfinal was a legitimate step toward a long March run or yet another false start for a team whose destiny is disappointment.
Yes, we need more data.

- Support for an early signing period is far from unanimous. Interestingly, Kentucky's Mark Stoops doesn't like it, and probably because he's had so much success flipping players late.
