Recruiting Becomes No.1 Focus

As the season comes to a close with all the players leaving, uk followers begin to learn a bit about what next years squad is going to look like. But this year isn't like the years of past, as Coach Calipari settles in with one year of coaching under his belt we only have 5 players returning from last years roster and 3 more recruits committed, but not yet signed.
For most schools this would have coaches scrambling nervously for any talent that would listen at this point on the recruiting trail. But with UK it's just another way for them to impress. They continue to shock the world as the number one ranked recruits in next two classes give their verbal to the big blue. 6'3', 183 lb point guard from Florida, Brandon Knight gave his verbal on April 14th at 4, Knight is the number one player in the class of 2010. One hour later the number one player for 2011, Mike Gilchrist picked UK. Gilchrist is a crafty 6'6", 190 lb small forward from New Jersey.
