2009 UK Basketball Thread - Part III

It sounded like a sure thing, but so have alot of things lately.

I kinda think Cal is playing a wait and see with Dennis.

If Xavier and CJ come to Kentucky, then there won't be any room for Dennis. Same with John Wall and waiting on Eric Bledsoe.

It's basically do you want one year of Wall and Henry, or two to three years of Dennis and Bledsoe.

[WVRed]

Also: Supposedly Henry and Orton aren't too fond of one another... something happened on one of their AAU circuits or something. Most seem to think that they won't end up at the same school.

I had heard that too.

I'm going to predict Kentucky gets the Henry's and Wall, but loses Orton.

Orton and Lance Stephenson will go to Kansas.

Again, just a prediction. I really don't know if I want another big or a wing player more.

Definitely a wing. We're going to be spoiled for choice with big men (although I'd love to have Orton, no doubt).

No question. That wing rotation looks a bit thin without an addition. Meeks, Miller, Harris, Hood, Galloway. Compare to Patterson, Cousins, Stevenson, Pilgrim.

Class rankings as of right now by Scout.

Still counts Orton. Doesn't count the possibility of Henry, Wall, Dennis etc. etc.

Hoosiers 11th ... Little Brother 22nd.

I've seen the Hoosiers class ranked as high as 5th or 6th. Can't remember where though.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 10th sounds about right, honestly. I think that's where most pubs have them.

Dear God,

Thank you for putting Bruce Pearl at Tennessee.

ESPN has IU 8th and UK 9th in their class rankings. Rivals had the IU class in the top 5 over the winter but that's not the case anymore.

I would say this even if--when--they have UK ranked higher, ESPN is the absolute worst place to get any sort of recruit information or class rankings. You can tell that recruiting isn't their primary business.

Agreed. It's just one of the few places that isn't blocked that I can go to. So I thought I'd throw it out there. Class rankings mean very little anyway but they are fun to look at.

Very, very true. Agree that they don't mean much.

One thing I really like is how balanced IU's class is, 1 PG, 1 SG, 1 SF, 2 PF, and 1 C.
