I know UK has had a big day on the recruiting front, but don't hold your breath just yet. I'm hearing more is coming and coming soon.We all know that Zollo will probably commit to UK next week. But Zollo isn't who I'm talking about.
Look for 2 more 2010 class recruits to commit to UK in the next month and maybe sooner.Also there could be a 2009 recruit commit in the next 2 weeks also. I know there has been a lot of talk going around about Evan Anderson and UK, and it does hold water. I have been told that Anderson is very, very close to committing to UK and could do so as soon as this weekend. He and Euton are great friends and play on the same AAU team this summer. Anderson is also friends with the newest commit Ferguson. Zollo and he also know each other pretty good. He wants to play on a team that has a chance to win and he believes UK is his best option.His family really wants him to go to Wisconsin, but I was told his heart is in UK. Something like the Harrellson situation. So with everything I have heard I believe he will commit to UK before the end of May and maybe, hopefully this weekend or the first part of next week. So maybe UK could get both Zollo and Anderson to commit on the same day or close together.
The other name I have heard is Jereme Richmond. He is a top 5 kid for Illinois. He plays 2G and would make a huge impact at UK, if he comes. But the big hang up here is that he is committed to Illinois and you know Coach G doesn't recruit committed players. But I have been told that he is very close to decommitting or may very well have decommitted this week. Not sure if he is decommitted yet, but I know he is looking in that direction. It is rumored that if he decommitted UK will be his likely destination. You see Webster(assistant at UK) is very close to he and his family. In fact Webster is the reason he committed to Illinois. So now that Webster is at UK it would only make sense that he follows his friend. So if he does indeed decommits, look for a UK commitment shortly after.
Then theres JT Terrell another 2G along with Chad Jackson. Now Anderson, Terrell, and Zollo have offers. Richmond will have one as soon as he decommits. The only player without one is Jackson. So from what I have heard Anderson and Richmond are the 2 players most likely to commit. But if it is found out that Richmond isn't going to decommit his offer will go to Jackson then it becomes a first to commit between Terrell and Jackson. Jackson will jump on a offer as soon as he is offered from what I have heard. I know UK could have as many as 7 schollys so why will it be first come first serve. Because Billy G will look to take 2 guards on Ross-Miller and one of these maybe the other. The rest will go for the players that he loves, the 6-7/6-8 type slasher forwards.
So lets hope next week or weeks only adds to what was a great day for UK fans today. Lets hope Billy G keeps up the great work and lands some more studs.
