UK CATS and Coach CAL reloading for 2010 and 2011.............watch out below

When Coach John Calipari left the Memphis Tigers Program for the University Of Kentucky he knew what he was getting into. The questions are simple to this point. Can UK get the BIG MAC's and Quarter Pounders stacked on their roster? If so, can Coach CAL get BLUEGRASS NATION back to prominence on the national scene? Where they have disappeared in the last few years. Well to being a good evaluator myself, the CATS are well on their way back to the top. The Freshman class Coach Cal had last year with 4 starters going in the top 25 picks and the backup center going in the last half of the 1st round shows you that UK made the right decision and Coach Cal made the right decision.

After losing all the talent one would think time to rebuild right? Wrong. See at UK back in the day they reloaded with the best of them and now with the 2010 class about to take stage Coach Cal and staff are Stacking up the Happy meals for 2011. Check this list out from ESPNU's Top 100 UK signees in both classes 2010 & 2011:

2010

ESPNU TOP 100 Ranking
Jones, Knight, Lamb, Kanter all signed late spring 2010 Poole only one signed early

4. PG Brandon Knight Pine Crest FLA HS
9. SF Terrence Jones Portland OR Jefferson HS
25. C Enes Kanter Stonebridge Prep CA HS
29. SG Doron Lamb Oak Hill Academy VA HS
51. SG Stacey Poole Providence School FLA HS

Excellent Class that will do damage on the Wings and very versatile with Knight playing both guard spots, T Jones playing both Forward spots as well as moving to the 2G depending on match ups, Lamb and Poole sliding to SF, and Kanter playing his natural position of PF. Coach Cal and his staff put together a nice class even if it did come late they still came.

2011

ESPNU TOP 100 Ranking

4 Five Star Recruits lead this class and all signed early and all in the Top 12 Nationally in Class 2011

2. SF Michael Gilchrist St. Patrick NJ HS
3. PF Anthony Davis Perspectives Charter School IL HS
7. PG Marquis Teague Pike IN HS
12.PF Kyle Wiltjer Jesuit OR HS

An Amazing hall considering UK didn't have to wait for these guys. Gilchrist by some is the best overall prospect in the Class of 2011. A do-it-all SF with a huge upside and hard-working lunch pale type of attitude. Davis from Chicago reportedly grew about 8" over the last year and a half and came out of nowhere. A Long lanky kid with a mix of post moves A SHOT-BLOCKER EXTROADINARE, as well as a nice floor game for a kid his size and length. Teague,the younger brother of former Wake PG and now Atlanta Hawks PG Jeff, is the best PG in the class of 2011. Reminds a lot of CP3 of the NO Hornets. Wiltjer a true power forward from Jesuit where former Duke player and now Indy pacer F Mike Dunleavy Jr. played.

One would have to say the CATS are bound to win and win big with these groups. The one real problem is A lot of these high rated top-shelf prospects don't stick around for more than one year. And With Coach CAL having the last 2 NBA ROY players it is appealing to kids to have that same vision and why not.

GO CATS LEXINGTON WILL BE ON TOP OF THE COLLEGE BASKETBALL WORLD FOR AS LONG AS COACH CAL AND HIS STAFF MAKE LEXINGTON THEIR HOME.
